[nabs-l] Accessible GPS that is just a talking map

[Ben J Bloomgren]

Sophie,

One of my best friends, Chris Gilland, uses Navegon almost daily. Apparently the blind community had to do some armwrestling, but it works like a charm now. It became inaccessible, then it became accessible again. He uses it with his iPhone 4S, and it works wonderfully despite the crazy nature of the roads in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
