You need IE 7 or 8 to access Google Maps. Unfortunately, you need JAWS 8 or higher to use IE 7, and JAWS 9 or higher to use IE 8. And you need JAWS 8 or higher to use Firefox 3.5. Gerald - Original Message - From: "ROSEMARIE CHAVARRIA" To: Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 7:00 PM

Hi, everyone, I've had problems trying to use map quest so I thought I'd try google maps. When I got on the site, it said my browser isn't fully supported for that site. Is there another accessible site I could try? I'm using Jaws 5.0 and I don't know if it would work well with a higher browser

In my opinion window eyes is not all that different from jaws. There is different termonology but navigation is the same, its just remembering the commands. I mean, reading paragraph-by-paragraph, visited links, unvisited links, etc. Browse mode is the same as forms mode and you use the numpad
