I use GPS every day when I'm riding the bus and it works great! The first time I used it, I needed a sighted friend to indicate the location of landmarks and bus stops along the way.

Once all of that information was put into my BrailleNote, I could use GPS to locate landmarks, bus stops, local businesses, major intersections, etc. independently. I could also determine my direction of travel, the speed limit the bus was traveling as well as the number of miles a particular business or landmark was from my current position.

I've found GPS to be a tremendous help -- especially when I ride the bus. I'm deaf-blind (totally blind with a severe to profound hearing loss) and can't hear the bus driver call out my stops. Before I started using GPS, I would give the driver an index card which indicated my destination in both print and Braille. Now that I have GPS, I can locate my stop independently."
