Hi Andy, Haven't you seen the size of PCs can be pretty tiny these days, about the size of a phone? Well, do a little research, as I've done recently, and it'll knock your socks off. Smile

If this is a PC based system, how can it be used when you are mobile?

Added a hotkey to speak your current location (for mobile users, control-alt-f11). Also recently added a hotkey to speak info about the current GPS fix (control-alt-f12). (your location is spoken as the nearest street address; it does require an internet connection). . Added options to the Get Directions dialog for the Transit menu: "Transit Mode Preferences" allows the specification of types of public transit to be used (bus, subway, train, or tram.) Using this option allows you for instance to eliminate routing which would have you on a bus for part of it (if you don't like bus transit). "Transit Routing Preferences" allows specifying of preferences for "less walking" and "fewer transfers" to trade off against the best possible route. May be helpful for blind riders where transfers can be a problem. . Fixed an issue where RMW was causing the GPS app to search for a GPS receiver, even when "Use the GPS App for Default Location" was not enabled in the options dialog menu. This also comes with an updated GPS app which fixes a problem which could cause an error when updating or upgrading (anything which used excessive CPU during the Window-Eyes startup). It also has an improved GPS position calculation algorithm, for those using a GPS receiver. Enjoy, and please do write me to say you're using it, or not using it, and why. I like writing it, but I might as well try and make it do what you may need it to.
