[Sportsandrec] FW: Announcing the Seeing Eye GPS app freepreview, new 2013 Sendero products, and remote CSUN access!

Fri Mar 1 01:07:22 UTC 2013

I suggest that you download Sendero site and check on Seeing Eye GPS.  Their GPS app is just a Beta.  Keep up with them and read the email I just sent from Paul.  That should give you pertinent information.  John T.

I so far use GPS drive which is a pretty cool app. Let me know when the one 
that you guys are talking about is avalable. I also have an iphone and that 
app sounds like it could blow the rest right out of the water.
