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.
