Can you please tell me the cost of N79? Please write to me on my personal e-mail id srmit...@gmail.com rgds Mittal. - Original Message - From: Manish Agrawal manis...@gmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 3:20 PM Subject: Re: [AI] a way finder access experience on a trip to Jaipurr I recently purchased a Nokia N79, which also has an internal GPS. My experience with the internal GPS has been pretty good so far. It picks up the signal just as fast as my external globalSat receiver and I do not need to keep the phone next to the car window or anything. I've had about 3 long rides to new destinations purely dependent on the gps so far and all have been successful. The drain on the battery (which is definitely not significant) is something I can live with for the luxury of not having to carry 2 separate devices. This phone is newer than the n82, so, there may have been an improvement...or maybe I've just been lucky so far.

[AI] a way finder access experience on a trip to Jaipurr
Hi all, I recently made a quick business trip to Jaipur. I travelled by road. I was in a taxi with a sighted colleague who was using Google maps. I was using way finder access. As luck would have it, our taxi driver did not know a thing about the inside of Jaipur.. Don't ask me why he was assigned to drive us. I was astonished at the number of petrol pumps on the Delhi Jaipur Highway namely national highway 8. Also, several small eating establishments were marked on way finder access. Once inside Jaipur, I was able to navigate directly to the building where I was lodged. This navigation was flawless and, we did not need to ask anyone. There were portions on the highway when no information was reported in the vicinity views. My sighted colleague verified that there was actually nothing around us at that point. however, if you plot a route to Jaipur or anywhere else, the around you view keeps giving you instructions on what to do even in such situations. Also, be warned, that there are a few patches on the highway where you may lose phone signal. This happens for a few seconds but it is enough to trigger way finder access to warn you about this.

Re: [AI] a way finder access experience on a trip to Jaipurr
Let's not get carried away in the contentious issues like this. there are people who assume that the rules are to be broken only. but there are also the people who wish to abide by the rules. two wrongs do not make one right. if other yahoo groups break the rules, why should we follow them? there are the means to get the required results without breaking the rules. if the alternatives are available, why the rules should be broken purposelessly? we should not defy the laws unless there are no other alternatives. hope it solves most of the queries. - Original Message - From: Pranav Lal To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 6:30 AM Subject: [AI] a way finder access experience on a trip to Jaipurr Hi all, I recently made a quick business trip to Jaipur. I travelled by road. I was in a taxi with a sighted colleague who was using Google maps. I was using way finder access. As luck would have it, our taxi driver did not know a thing about the inside of Jaipur.. Don't ask me why he was assigned to drive us. I was astonished at the number of petrol pumps on the Delhi Jaipur Highway namely national highway 8. Also, several small eating establishments were marked on way finder access. Once inside Jaipur, I was able to navigate directly to the building where I was lodged. This navigation was flawless and, we did not need to ask anyone. There were portions on the highway when no information was reported in the vicinity views. My sighted colleague verified that there was actually nothing around us at that point. however, if you plot a route to Jaipur or anywhere else, the around you view keeps giving you instructions on what to do even in such situations. Also, be warned, that there are a few patches on the highway where you may lose phone signal. This happens for a few seconds but it is enough to trigger way finder access to warn you about this.

Re: [AI] a way finder access experience on a trip to Jaipurr
Hi, On the contrary, my experience with WFA on highways has not been all that great. A lot of times, WFA reported that I was off-track when we were still cruising on the highway. It appears to me that the turns on highways are not correctly mapped. Of course, Delhi-Jaipur highway is probably more popular than Bangalore-Mysore. However, I was able to know names of most of the towns and cities on the highway. Inside cities, WFA maps are really good.
