Verse of the Week
Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and
is safe. (ESV)
Prayer: "O gracious and Holy Father, give us wisdom to perceive you,
diligence to seek you, patience to wait for you, eyes to behold you, a
heart
to meditate upon you, and a life to proclaim you; through the power of the
Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord." (Prayer of Saint Benedict of Nursia,
480-547 AD)
Psalm 23:1-6
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;
2 he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;
3 he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his
name's
sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no
evil;
for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint
my
head with oil, my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I
shall
dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 19:8-11

Subject: The Seeing Eye app, a quick test.
Hi all, I took the Seeing Eye GPS app for a quick walk around my
neighborhood to see how well it performed. I walked about one mile, and
took
a different route back. It worked well, although like most GPS apps it
seemed to use a lot of battery, over twenty percent in the one mile walk.
The interface of the app is simple and easy to understand. Entering an
address is made easy because the state and city you are in are already
entered, so only the address number and street need to be entered. If you
are going to another city, however, you will need to change that field. I
started by searching for a point of intrest and starting a route. The app
uses voice over for most of the announcements, but does have another voice
that chimes in occasionally. The directions were clear and given with
ample
lead time. As I approached intersections it would announce the street name
and the intersection type, I. E. Fore way, and the street direction. Also,
as I walked the app announced points of intrest as I passed by.
On the way back, I tried the route to home option, which opened a drop
down
menu with various options including one that is poorly labeled. My wife
told
me it said multi modal, which voice over didn't understand, so I relabeled
this button multi mode.
Over all I think this is a great start, but there are a few things I'd
like
to see in the future. I'd like to see the ability to walk a virtual route,
as I was able to do with my human ware Trekker..
After taxes the one year subscription cost over seventy five dollars. It
sounds like a lot, but considering my old Trekker was fifteen hundred
dollars seven years ago, it doesn't seem too expensive.
If you figure it out, it comes to about twenty one cents a day for the one
year subscription. And only about thirteen cents a day with the three year
subscription, it seems reasonable to me.
