Hello Charles. Thanks for that information.
It is my understanding that Sendero was involved in the Developmemth of Nearby
Explorer app which my wife has on her Galaxy Nexus and her Braille Plus 18.
Should she contact APH directly about adding the Halifax feed or would your
change be applicable to her as well.
Thanks everyone.
Barry
