Hi Barry, Ah, this is a different animal. It is not a screen reader at all. The Maestron is an ordinary Pocket PC, a Dell Axim in fact, with a special overlay made, and a few self-voicing applications, including GPS. This is by no means a screen reader. The only two screen readers proper, to my knowledge, are Pocket Hal, or whatever Dolphin are going to call it, they haven't decided yet <Grin>, and MobileSpeak Pocket from Code Factory. If you install a third party application and try to use it with the Maestro, and it hasn't been especially scripted, you will get diddly squat!

There's also that product from, http://www.visuaide.com/HW/en/Maestro.asp Which a friend owns and has the GPS working beautifully on it.
