Accessible GPS: Overview and Comparison Plus Methodologies for Teaching and
Training 

1:30PM - 2:30PM
Room: Curacao 5
Speaker: Mike May (Sendero) 

Currently, there are various accessible GPS systems available for blind and

accessible GPS and state-of-the-art wayfinding technologies like indoor
navigation. Methodologies for teaching and training will be outlined as
well. 

Trekker Breeze Specializing in GPS Travel Off The Grid 

Navigation in open spaces has always been difficult for people who are
blind. Not having sidewalks or streets to use as navigation guides can cause
the traveler to feel disoriented, causing them to doubt their travel skills.
The Breeze's "Open Area" mode gives the blind traveler that added
reassurance when traveling in open spaces, such as college campuses, parking
lots, or resorts. Create a route to follow, or simply allow the Breeze to
guide you to a landmark. 

Join HumanWare at booth 519 and sign up to participate in the Breeze open
area demonstrations. See firsthand how this small portable GPS device can
bring reassurance to blind travelers as they navigate, regardless of whether
there are streets and sidewalks nearby. You will hear how the Breeze's audio
feedback accurately and simply guides the user to locations, with minimal
input from the blind traveler.
