[Electronics-talk] Fw: The Seeing Eye GPST app now for saleinthe iTunes Apple Store

[Tom Lange]

Hi,
I just bought the app with its subscription on Tuesday and have used it in 
both vehicle and pedestrian modes.  In both cases, navigation was spot on. 
For the first offering of this app, it works very well, and if the track 
record with this app is similar to that of Sendero for the BrailleNote 
products, I would expect that each update will improve the product 
significantly.

When I first tried the Seeing Eye app on my iPhone 4, responsiveness when 
moving around the screens was very sluggish.  Clearing out the app switcher, 
then powering down and restarting the phone helped tremendously.

Tom
