[cheryl echevarria]

also GDF is doing a gps program with graduates they were doing the one we had the raffle at convention, but they are trying out the Kaptan now, if I remember correctly.

  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.
