[NAGDU] Button by Neatebox app , helps find button on a street crossing light pole.

[Jordan Gallacher]

Also, this app is not available in the US App store as of now.  Government
moves slowly though, and where I used to live, they never did put the cross
walks or pedestrian signals both me and a business wanted in.

That's pretty easy to do.  My concern is you'd have to convince your local
government to install the box.  When I was arguing with my county about
installing an audible signal, I gave them a list of manufacturers, with
expert recommendations.  They ignored it and got something else, but signals
they put in later happen to have been on my list.  So, the engineers and
their bosses have their own lists, and getting them to add something to
those lists is not so simple.

If you are on another app you would have to stop that one and go to this
one.
Then back to the first app you were on.
Just some thoughts.
