Remember the original SmallTalk GW used to sell? That would be perfect for this ... and I eventually will get out there and find something like it (I know it's out there).
I have a lot more interest from folks using GPS units than I thought, so I am starting to work again on the functionality which offers you real-time turn-by-turn routing, and reminders based on your location (such as a reminder that your bus stop is coming up, or as you pass the store that you need something). So, if anyone knows of a great really little notebook pc which still has more power than a netbook, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I have a feeling that an ARM processor is just too slow, but if someone has experience otherwise, I'd like to hear it also. Thanks.

Well, do a little research, as I've done recently, and it'll knock your socks off.

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.
