[nagdu] another GPS option

[Kristen]

I was just going to tell Brandy and others about the new GPS 
update on the Apex. I personally love it! The virtual mode is 
like having an accessible MapQuest, and it can be talking if you 
want it to.

Has anyone played with the new Sendeor Maps on the Braille Note? 
In version 9.4.1 the maps are included so you can browse 
locations and routes off line and then if you want to buy the 
Sendero product, you can.

One interesting feature of this program is the ability to browse 
areas using sides of the street. When GPS is live, this feature 
doesn’t work, or doesn’t work as well, but when browsing in 
virtual mode, it’s really interesting.

I like to get a flavor of a neighborhood before I go there and 
these maps do allow for that plus route planning. You can then 
save the routes in the Braille Note for review as you go. This 
would be handy in Manhattan with the canyon effect.

It’s truly an awesome time to be blind and have so many tools at 
our disposal.
