The Washington Assistive Technology Foundation has a client who is
applying for a loan for a portable GPS System. He has some vision loss
but is able to drive. He is seeking employment as a Taxi Driver & needs
this device as an alternative to reading a (Thomas) map/guide. The GPS
device he has selected costs about $500-$600 but he has not had a chance
to try it out and the company does not have a return policy.
We are seeking recommendations for devices and places where this client
could go to actually look at and try out a GPS device - preferably with
excellent lighting and a large screen.
Thanks much.
