New Application
Important Notes Please
==================
1. If you discover a bug in our Beta version of GuideDroid® we would appreciate your not giving it a bad rating. Instead, please reach your hand out to meet ours by sending us an e-mail describing the bug. We will do everything in our power to duplicate and fix it. Many thanks!
2. Since we initially developed GuideDroid® in support of individuals with cognitive disabilities/low vision navigating their way around college campuses, GuideDroid® initially starts in "Walking Directions" mode. This is why you will see what appears to be very long time estimates to get to your destination as compared to driving there. To switch GuideDroid® into "Driving Directions," "Public Transportation," or "Biking" mode, please use the following instructions:

3: Please see the "Credits" at the bottom of this description. Thank you.
