I will use two programs.  I will use Loadstone GPs as my primary program. 
This is a free, open source program usable by anybody with the appropriate 
cell phone.  Please visit www.loadstone-GPS program for more information 
about this program.

The second program I will use is Wayfinder Access.  Please visit 
www.wayfinder.com/access for more information about this program.  Please 
email me or visit www.blindhiker.com if you have any questions.

Sincerely,


Mike Hanson

>>> Dear Fellow Blind Lawyers:
>>>
>>> My name is Mike Hanson.  I happen to be blind.  I have been a member of 
>>> this list for years and learned a great deal from it.
>>>
>>> I plan to hike the 2,174-mile Appalachian Trail using GPS starting in 
>>> March, 2009 to demonstrate the independence of persons with visual 
>>> impairments, the use of adaptive and assistive technology to achieve our 
>>> independence, and the value of GPS to the blind community.  Adaptive 
>>> technology will be a major component of my hike.
>>>
>>> Award-winning videographer Gary L. Steffens will make a documentary of 
>>> Mike's Hike.  Please visit http://www.blindhiker.com for more 
>>> information on my plans.
>>>
>>> Thank you for your support and suggestions so far.  The only obstacle on 
>>> my path is funding.  Help me prove prevailing myths about the dependence 
>>> of persons with disabilities wrong and open doors for persons with 
>>> visual impairments.  Make me take a hike!
>>>
>>> Sincerely,
