GPS (Global Positioning Systems) have now been integrated into talking PDAs to allow blind users to receive realtime information regarding travel directions throughout their communities.  This technology was recently tested by a group of individuals from The Lighthouse in Houston, Texas, to navigate throughout their community, even locate and travel to a local Starbuck coffee shop.

Users noted that the use of this technology will not replace their guidedogs, but add another dimension to travel that works very well with the mobility skills they have developed with the guidedogs.
