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,
>>>

>>> Mike Hanson
