So Steve, as someone learning a new area such as me right now, I could go out with my Mobility Instructor - who is brilliant fun by the way - and learn my way to say the village Post Office or hairdressers using Breeze. I could record everything as I go, and save it to do it again on my own? I'm starting to get the knack of telling my drivers where to take me when I think I'm almost home, but walking? Well ... not there yet! (smile).

Hi Jackie,
As I understand it, you can only do two things with the Breeze. First, you 
can turn it on and walk.  You will hear everything around you, including
favourites that you enter. Secondly, you can record routes with your own
voice prompts. What you can't do is program specific routes automatically, 
as other GPS programs do.  There is no vehicle, pedestrian etc modes, you
can merely walk and capture data.

It is a very good solution from what I hear, for people who don't want the
complexity of additional route commands, but wouldn't do you any good if you 
want to navigate a sighted person in a car for example.

All the best

Steve

Hi Carol

That's what I'm curious about.  I don't quite understand the differences
between Breeze and Pro either, and the blurb I've read doesn't seem to make 
it particularly clear.  So if I get a chance, I'm going to have a nose.

I'll gladly report back off list if you like.

Hi Jackie,

So what's the difference between the PRO and the BREEZE version, do you
know?

I'm so sorry we won't be able to make Sight Village again this year ...
but perhaps some time.

Hi Carol

Ian uses the Trekker Pro, but he also has Wayfinder Access on his
phone. This is a general hobby for him, and he thinks the whole thing
would be better if he could pick things from Trekker and Wayfinder
Access, and have them rolled into one decent product.  He says
Trekker Pro has got some real bugs in it, but he uses both quite a
lot just to find out where he is and putting his own landmarks in.

I'll be at Sight Village this year, so I'm hoping to perhaps have a
look at Trekker Breeze at some point, just to report back to Ian as
he is interested in it.

Incidentally, if any of you are going to Sight, please come and say
hello to me as it would be nice to put voices to the many of you I
have written to on and off list over the months.

Hi all,

My husband's thinking of getting the Trekker Breeze which I
understand is somewhat of a cut-down version of the GPS software
used with the BrailleNote family of products.  If anyone uses this,
I'd be interested in your observations, likes and dislikes and to
know how you use it (I mean, for what purposes you find it works for
you). --
