<DIV>This software does not give information about a user's actual physical
location; it is not a GPS system. Instead, it provides a verbal description of
physical<BR>space and what it contains. It gives persons with visual impairments
the same information available to sighted persons through incidental learning
when<BR>they look at maps, street signs, and signage on buildings.</DIV>
