["Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Barry,

I believe Code Factory are actively looking at GPS systems, so I can only
speak for Mobile Speak, but they are certainly interested in looking at GPS
applications.  But it is like any screen reader, you can't access absolutely
everything all at once, but watch this space.


All the best

Hi Steve.

That's interesting info.

So...  To this vain is there at the moment or is it expected that you'll be
able to get access uisng pocket Hal or Mobile speak pocket pc to the same or
better GPS capabilitys of the Trecker by Visuaide?

I'm 100% interested in this technology but the prices for the full kit,
trecker, maestro etc is wild.

It's about $1800 US!
