| It could be of extreme interest to add information usefull for blind
| people to build a customized routing application to drive blinde people
| in our cities.
| I think we could tag every single walk-crossing having the blind-beeper,
| but i'm interesting in the GUI too just because it's a interesting
| application of open datas.
| The blind people mentioned above told us about a university project to
| customize the TomTom GUI, but i don't think the data in the tom tom
| could be usefull for blind people.
|
| Someone have interesting experience about this topic?

There was this post about a year ago. I don't think anyone responded.
