Bob had an appointment to do some training at UCLA today. A friend dropped
him off at the dorms, and he left a few hours later via paratransit. There
are only a few places where they will pick you up on campus, and of course
in the wisdom of the bureaucrats who make such decisions, none of the stops
are very close to the dorms. His pickup was to be at the flagpole near
Royce Hall. I was able to see the flagpole using mapquest.com, and with a
little mouse click, I could get its latitude and longitude. Voila, you just
set that lat lon as your destination, use the getting warmer method, and
after a little hike, you're there. This method does require a sighted guy
who has access to a computer and the internet, but unless it's already a
public user POI or you've been there before, it is pretty cool!
