What the GED Compass looks like
GED Compass for New York City and for New York State will contain most of the same content

The two places the content will be different are the Program Locatorthe Seat Reservation System as the search criteria will change depending on

In New York City because of age constraints we narrow the search by asking the user to indicate if they are over or under 17
In the rest of New York State the same thing can be done or programs can stipulate what ages they serve as part of their program description
