I Phone, what can you get that will keep track of where you are in a car? I

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] Question for iPhone and iPad users
i have a iPhone and a ipad as well 'it took me about a month to be toatly
happy with them .
along with my apple stuff i use a bluetooth keyboard as this really helps
filling out forms on the phone
as you can tab or or tab shift as on the pc. i just got a braille keyboard
for my husband it was $ 275. , from Flying Blind.com it will work on any
item that can use a bluetooth .they have one that has a 12 cell braille
display for under $ 1000.
i use my phone and ipad more than my pc as you can have a color identifier
and a money one as well. the gps on the phone is great too i use Tom tom
the best thing is it is usable of the shelf and you do not have to buy
outrageous priced software for your phone
my husband hated it at first and it took him 2 months to get it if he can
use it anyone can do it.
the one thing i had to learn was the quick double tap to do things on the
phone other than that i just love and would not go back to a button phone
you can get screen savers with raised dots and these do help , they have
two different ones
hope this helps you
