[Mt-blind] GPS for the Blind

[dmgina]

I will stick with the GPS with GW Micro.
You can go up on their site and read all about it.
They have a case for the voice sense to fit in,
Which is lighter for me,
which is the reason why we got the voice sense.
Even with all of the traffic, you could still hear what was happening.
