[Trainer-talk] suggestions for gps

[Terrence VanEttinger]

I agree with this; I've used my iPhone GPS a couple times this winter, when snow made it all but impossible to see landmarks that I usually use.  I-Map-U is a great app for checking location, and one time I actually used Navigon when I was totally flummoxed by the winter weather...and discovered that I was merely steps away from where I was going.

I'm honestly not sure how those screen readers will help somebody with
GPS. Meanwhile,  the iPhone is perhaps one of the best GPS options for
people. Many people are finding it to be very useful, and the GPS
navigation programs cost little or nothing beyond the cost of the phone.
