[nabs-l] Technology question regarding navigating campus with GPS

[Kaiti Shelton]

Speaking of the BrailleNote-BrailleSense gps, Sendero is supposed to
be releasing an IPhone app version of the gps soon.  That might be
something to look into since if you don't already have the Sendero for
your notetaker the App might be a cheaper option.
