[Electronics-talk] Comparing GPS's

[Steve Jacobson]

Jim,

>From what I know from the past, I'm guessing that Sendero will make improvements to the Seeing Eye app.  My understanding is that 
right now, it really doesn't do anything that the cheaper apps don't already do, but that it tends to do everything one might 
otherwise need separate apps to do.  Do you feel that is a fair assessment?  I have Blind Square and Ariadni and they both seem to 
do different things pretty well.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
