I have just spent 3 days in Louisville at the Blinded Veterans conference and am now in Nashville for a little musical exploration. I
took the Megabus between the two cities, which was interesting. It was fun
seeing all the little towns and POIs popping up on my BrailleNote GPS.
At the conference, I was heartened to be visited by 3 avid
BrailleNote GPS users. So many folks have shifted from the more productive
Braille notetaker platform to the iPhone for its convenience.
Of course, in the process of planning this trip, I used Sendero Maps to figure out the relative locations of the places I was staying,
restaurants and meetings. I went to an Irish pub in Louisville and as Irish
luck would have it, my Uber driver was Irish. Seems funny when I was expecting
a Kentucky accent.
I tend to use the Seeing Eye GPS more for short routes and
less when exploration or co-piloting is required. Each tool has its strengths.
I tell you, I could live in Nashville because of so much
high quality music.
Mike
