[nagdu] [Fwd: Announcing the Seeing Eye GPS app free preview

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Dar.
It will tell you what you're passing, sort of.  I have Sendero GPS on my 
Braillenote, and it tells me what's in the area, at least, though it's 
sometimes hard to tell how close something actually is.
And it's only accurate to within 30 feet or so, or something like that.  So 
it will get me close, but then I still have to have Benny find the door.  Of 
course, here in Jersey, 30 feet could be 3 different stores, but in Montana 
things are a bit more spread-out, so maybe it works better.

Tracy
