[Blind-Rollers] New power chair has arrived

[Karen Rose]

Does anyone know if anyone has come up with GPS guidance technology for power chairs? I am totally blind and wanting to switch to a chair rather than do knee replacements. But would need to have a good GPS guidance system. Anyone know who might be working on that? Karen
