Mike:

I still have version 1.85 of Atlas and GPS Talks on my laptop and it works
great.  True, the maps are somewhat out of date.  How difficult would it be
to resurrect that with new maps.  Are the new maps addressed quite
differently?

Chip,

It is a matter of time and money to port the software to a laptop platform.
All the map licenses remain the same as for the BrailleNote.

However, we also have requests for GPS on the PK, GPS on Keysoft 6.1 and
GPS on generic Windows CE PDAs. I wish we had the funding to do all these
things.

Mike
