Hi Geoff,
I've never used where to. I use around me for my POI needs. I was wondering
if you've used around me, and if so, could you compare and contrast the two
apps a bit? Around me is free and I find it to be pretty good. I was
wondering what one would get for their $3 for where to.

Hi,
To keep VoiceOver from reading out changes in font attributes in mail, go to
VoiceOver Utility (VO-F8), and under the "Verbosity" utility category select
the "Text" tab. Navigate past "When text attributes change:" and VO-Space on
the pop up menu button to change it from "Speak Attributes"
So I was thinking of picking up a product. I figured Garmin would be a good
choice. My Uncle and Mother use the GPS stand alone units. I started reading
the reviews, it doesn't look that great. It's rated 2.5 out of 5 stars with
reports of broken bluetooth, bad button lay out, muffled audio
That sounds like it could be a potentially wonderful source of information. I
like it. I think we should go with it, or some similar method of application
review.

You can do Navigon from startup on and give us an idea / product rule. I could

It is interesting. I have to say, there's something interesting going on

Since you mentioned business location I thought I'd mention the $3.00 app named

Thanks. VO-F6 certainly works.
Quite suddenly, voiceover is reading out the changes in colors and fonts very
elaborately when I'm reading mail. How can I disable this?
