This question seems to be popping up very often lately but here's the
way I figure, if Google maps or any other maps were mobile friendly
towards the blinded/visual impaired community, then there would be no
need for a group like Sendero to put out a blind friendly GPS system.
I know there are other apps that can somewhat be useful such as that
area GPS but it does not give you point-by-point directions like the
Seeingeye GPS. I mean likeam I off the beaten path somewhere?
