Hello Rosemary
Yes I use gps often in that way doesn't it make you feel so much
more confident while traveling.
two weeks ago I was on the bus in my home town on route to tune a
customer's piano with Nathan my Guide Dog but without my gps
because my Braillenote bt was away receiving its transplant to
M-Power.
I realised after some time that my 30 route bus wasn't going the
right way and by that time I was confused, (they'd changed the
bus route in the previous week!!!"
I did realise eventually where I was but it was scary for a
while.
I so wished gps had been there.

Hi, I know this has happened to all of you many times, but it wasa first for me. I mostly use my GPS with pedestrian routes, creating them and then following by walking with my Seeing-Eye dog, Velvet. But the other day I was traveling to a friend's house by bus. I told the driver where I wanted to get off, and I also set repeat cross streets. I saw Perkins Street come up, and said, "Oh, this is my stop." By the way the driver responded, I could tell that he'd forgotten that he told me that he'd call out the stop. I hadn't traveled that route before, so I really didn't know how long the ride would be. What a thrill! And I got off, crossed the street, took a right, and walked directly to the house. Yippie!
