And, for the person who wondered about wether any GPS tells you the side of the street, Seeing Eye GPS does. For example, in Portland Oregon, where I am, we have lots of streets that eithemake t intersections or jog a ways from where they cross the intersecting street. So Seeing Eye might say, 33rd pl on the left, and then a little while later, 33rd pl on the right, etc. Richard
