[nagdu] guide dogs and gps

[Peggy]

I've just started using the Kapten and I love it.  It tells you what's 
around, what streets your crossing, etc.  You just have to make sure your 
main focus is still on your dog but it's fantastic.

I am using GPS a little. I did use one with the Braillenote MPower, but the 
machine is too big for me to haul around and use the dog effectively. I am 
using Navigone with my IPhone some, and Sendero Look-Around for when I have 
become a little disoriented because either of not paying attention, making 
wrong moves, or just to see what's around. So far this particular software 
with the phone has been the best because it is not extra bulk; I hope to get 
into using it a bit more in the future.
