[NAGDU] auxillary accessaries for mobility

[Cindy Ray]

Rox, how do you set up the watch so it makes different vibration patterns
for right and left. You can write me off list at the E-mail below, though I
am not sure but what others would find that interesting and helpful.

Hey Brenda 
Mostly I use the maps app on the iPhone and my apple Watch.  This is only
for new places that I have never gone and maybe am not sure where to go. For
everyday places I of course know where they are and how to get there.  I set
up the route on the phone with my braille display and put both phone and
braille display away in my bag.  The watch has specific vibration patterns
for things like left and right so I don't need either the phone or display.
Of course it will also talk but I'm deaf so that is no good for me. 
This is just what I do. It's not flauless but it works!

I try to hide my iPhone so it is not a temptation for someone to decide they
want to take it from me.
