Sorry if it goes to everyone. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to one person is down.

I wanted to thank you for agreeing with the thought that I was having. And giving me a good reason. I know you get what you pay for. My dad always said that. So, thank you for telling me what I already knew. Sometimes you have to hear it from someone else.

With AIRA you have the additional field of vision provided by the glasses. You also are dealing with paid trained staff, who in addition to having the image provided by the glasses, also have access to additional location data provided by resources like Google maps, Google places, and Google Earth. They are really two different resources. in other words, you get what you pay for.
