Bit of clarification here:

 • I know nothing at all about anything to do with Garmin and Seeing Eye or any 
partnership either of them may have attempted to make with anyone.  My question 
was a purely theoretical one:  What if, as Neal Barnfather excellently points 
out, certain blind-user-specific features were added to an existing GPS 
framework?  Wouldn't the cost offset be much more mild, spread across a greater 
market base?  I then went on to say that this would have the added advantage of 
further eroding the barriers between blind and sighted computer users, and 
maybe even blind and sighted people in general.  I never once implied that this 
had already been tried and failed; I simply don't know, and it's beyond the 
scope of my intent.  
 • At no time did I ever once say that you should *NOT* use a product simply 
because it's a "blind ghetto," thing or not.  I've got a Trekker Maestro which, 
in its hayday, I loved.  I'll have every conceivable GPS app on my I device, 
regardless of politics and only bounded by cost.  I'm not that kind of radical. 
:)
 • I love bullets.
 • That is all.
 • Really.
