Hi List,
I know that , in the States, there are navigation aids, built around GPS
(Global Positioning System), that have been either adapted or
purpose-designed for use by Blind or partially-sighted individuals to aid
them in getting around cities etc.
GPS has been over in the UK for some 8 years now, but only in equipment
relying on a visual display and mostly for sailors and people navigating in
wilderness areas.
I am a keen sailor and wonder if any of you are aware of any company(s) who
are producing/reselling GPS equipment that I, as a totally blind sailor,
could use aboard a boat?
Hope someone has some info...
Clive S.
