It is my belief that Sendero put out their gps app because they felt that they
could build in some features which many blind indeviduals could use and which
weren't already included in the other apps. Another reason they did it was to
make money. Don't be fooled. By making the statement which you did below, are
you also saying that other blindness related gps apps aren't accessible and
that's why they had to do it? As has been stated many times, there are many
gps apps which are quite accessible to us blind users and which have no
blindness specific features.

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?
