Technology is continuously improving, which not only makes everyday tasks easier with assistive technology, but makes them accessible.  Take GPS for example.  There was a time when GPS was only available inside of your vehicle.  Now GPS is available on our mobile devices for navigating large, indoor environments as well as driving directions.  We covered NavCog in a blog last year and feel it is relevant to share with you again here.
