Dear List,
I had a very odd experience yesterday. I was visiting
Orientation Center for the Blind on San Pablo. For some reason
when I was checking the address with the letter A, it said I was
on the 900 block, which was incorrect, I was really not the 400
block. And when I crossed an intersection to go onto a different
block it read it as being the 900 block, when it was really the
500 block. In a result of the address system being totally off,
I was searching for a restaurant around the area, I found one and
set it as my destination and created a route, but I found the
restaurant was about 0.30 miles west from where it said it was.
Yes, this was a really odd experience.
The thing I enjoyed was all of the user point of interest that
were around. Everything was marked around Orientation Center for
the Blind including the snake path, Braille room, Computer room,
Cafeteria, Gym, and with all of these great markings, it got me
straight to the particular door I was looking for. I didn't
encounter any issues with getting from the BART station to
Orientation Center for the Blind. I only ran into problems with
the address and the commercial POI. Everything else worked out
great. I am not sure if this is something that is fixed in
version 3.5, I only have 3.3 as of current. If someone wants to
check this out who has version 3.5, that would be greatly
appreciated and I do hope this is fixed in 3.5.
Kevin
