Today we had 10 participants. Initial debate revolved around my issue with
free now taxi app. Up until recently my home showed up as my pickup when I
wished to use the app from home. Recently my address shows up as a house about
600m down the road, and I have to manually enter my pickup. I have checked
this with other navigation apps and my home showes up correctly. Following
Cearbhall's suggestion I will re enter my address in the app, and see how this
might work. Martin had a query about NBDA updates, Cearabhall indicated that
these wer advising of what updates were coming up down the line. Discussion
was had about Heble1 a new Braille device which he recently won in a
competition. Normal cost is 350 euro. Mary is having difficulty setting stops
in the new TFI app. Particularly finding the add button. Michael indicated
that tax relief on adapted cars whats not available to the blind. Inn the
North of Ireland payments are made to lease a car in which a blind person can
be driven in. Tom is aware of a person who was successful in recieveing
funding from the HSE,as the car was needed for him to use for work.Annette had
a query about the Shell phone, Martin will meet her soon and go through this
item with her. This phone has tactile buttons,and can also be controlled with
