[nabs-l] GPS devices

[Carly]

Hi, Katie,

I use the Senddero software powered by a VoiceNote Empower. I have 
declined using an ear phone while I'm trying to travel. Anyway the 
device could come in handy if you are becoming oriented to a new 
place but you might not wanna have it, all the time.
   Personally, I don't appreciate my ears being wandering, while  I'm 
striving to navigate and, it is not disruptive to not use an 
earphone,  with things going on, on the streets.
Sometimes however you might not particularly wanna be tied to some 
machine, to tell you where you are and prefer the person to person, contact.
There are some downside to using a navigation device. You gotta keep 
it dry and safe and above all  you have to keep track of it because 
most likely it won't actually be  your's, so you hafta keep track of 
it, like being responsible for some toddler.  But we are all 
accustomed to keeping track of our specific, blind stuff.
Good luck!
for today,
Car blind stuff, okay.
