[access-uk] Re: GPS SOLUTION

Hi Richard.

I’d say the IPhone without a shadow of a doubt if your looking for value and 
longevity, though there is a small cost in addition to the phone to get the 
required GPS software that’ll guide you from door to door.  You’ll also have to 
invest the time in learning the interface, but the pocket computer that the 
IPhone is will do so so much more for you than a dedicated GPS receiver.  
However, that said, if you don't want to learn a new interface or want a simple 
approach to address entry then a blindness specific product like the Trekker 
Breeze would do you just fine.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi, 
What do people think is the best GPS solution for a blind pedestrian these 
days?  

I've never seen anything sufficiently accurate that I could rely on, but there 
must be something out there.

I've been thinking about the Trekker Breeze, but wondered if there was anything 
better;  would consider getting and iPhone if that was a runner, as it would be 
cheaper than the Breeze, which seems to be just under £600 with the new 
postcode support once it's available.
