GPS Replay files of WayFun 2008 The goal of these events is for blind people to stretch their travel limits by exploring interesting environments using all his or her orientation and mobility techniques including GPS and to have fun in the process. Independent travel is enhanced by accessible location information. The blind participants test their skills and expand their capabilities by looking for local tourist sites and points of interest they have been challenged to find. In the process, the blind travelers get lost and experience the power of being able to get "unlost" using the accessible GPS. Read the SenderoGroup.com travel Blog to learn details about previous trips and triumphs. Instead of vision, we use a number of tools and techniques to explore including two-way radios and accessible GPS. If a participant doesn't have his or her own GPS, he or she will be teamed up with an experienced user who does. The radios are used to keep the teams in touch in case someone finds a particularly interesting point during the day and wants to share the location with others.
