Hi Anna,

 

Thanks so much for the book recommendation … I went and immediately purchased 
it.

 

The trouble I then had is when I tried to play the DAISY copy I purchased on my 
Victor Stream.  

 

I prefered to listen to the text version of the DAISY so that if I wanted it to 
spell something I could, and I just liked that voice better.  NFB has however, 
created a DAISY version of this book which has tremendously long pauses between 
each word, such that I am unable to listen to the text version.

 

I switched to their audio version, but even then I found their audio has 
unacceptably long pauses between each word, so that the book doesn’t flow 
naturally.

 

Are others noticing this?  I seldom buy a DAISY version of a book, preferring 
an epub version (which is usually available but not in this case), but I’ve 
never run across before.

 

I did call NBP and they were willing to substitute a Word document version, but 
so far no luck in getting my Victor to play Word documents (so I converted it 
to a .txt file and just lost all the navigational capabilities within the book).

 

Just asking if others who use Victor run into this, or is it just this book, 
and also  as a warning to those who may want to purchase this book.  It’s a 
shame whatever NBP is doing to create DAISY seems to be causing this, and also 
that they don’t offer an epub version.

 

Thanks for any info,

 

Chip

Hi,

 

Since the question of which GPS app is best comes up often on the list, I 
thought folks would want to know about this book.

 

Best,

Anna

 Go Where You Wanna Go
Using GPS on the iPhone
by Judy Dixon
In braille (1 vol), BRF, Word, or DAISY: starting at $12.00

Popular author and seasoned world traveler Judy Dixon takes you on an app tour 
of 17 of the most user-friendly, accessible GPS apps for the iPhone, helping 
you to choose the right app for different situations. Whether you want to know 
your own precise location; learn the identity of places around you so you can 
explore; create your own routes and get turn-by-turn directions; or navigate 
environments that traditional map data doesn't cover — like college campuses, 
large parks, beaches, or other large open spaces — Judy will help you 
understand your GPS options.
