Communication diagram

I have seen a chart/diagram that lets you communicate with individuals by using to symbols/ pictures on the diagram. Does anyone know the name of this chart or where to buy one ?

Hi

I would have thought that it would be easier to get a waterproof note book and draw on what you want. Will give you more flexibility.

Thi can be used to make notes on also.

That is so funny. I was just looking at a book like this yesterday. It is a 40 page book with nothing but pictures. Pictures of everything - toilets, food, hospitals, banks etc etc.

Really neat idea. If you go on Amazon.com and do a search for 'point pictures' you will find a few of these. The one I saw was called 'Point It' and is pretty funny as well as useful.

Julio - if you had my drawing abilities you would realize that the notepad idea won't do it. A series of stickfigures walking into big boxes with smoke curling out the top would have to do for just about everything.

Carlos,

I always wondered why I keep ending up in the indutrial park part of towns. I need to learn how to draw a stick figure man lying on a beach with a cold in his hand...

Get yourself some adhesive whiteboard tape and cover your gas tank. Buy yourself some whiteboard markers in various colors. You can spend hours amusing yourself (and hopefully others) on the road trying to explain in artistic terms that a stick man on the beach is not a piece of driftwood, and that a cold is indeed a cold .

good luck

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
