Hi Phil, personally, I believe I would cope just with the ability to place markers. Something like the SOD object locator (working at larger distances than just 5 feet and producing continuous signals once an item appears in range) would also come in handy but I can do without it. The markers would however be fine, as sometimes the remembral simply isn't just enough. The room describer is not a feature I would really miss or need.
