if wayfinder had more POI and free mode, plus the ability to mar where you are as POI this woud be a total winner

Ah now the poste code support in Access in fantastic and is a big plus over Trekker, together with its versatility of being turned into a GPS for the sighted in an instant. I can be some use as a passenger now!As for improvements, I like how Trekker says the intersection with rode a on your left, road b infront etc as your just walking along. I also love how Trekker lets you put a POI in where you are stood, I don't think Access lets you do this? There is also the Trekker free mode which can be handy but if your a good Access user you'll probably get used to checking where your nearest crossing or favourite is using one of the tabs. Trekker, in my view, is a slightly better system because it announces things automatically when your not in route mode and there are more one touch buttons. Wayfinder then beats it for me with its size, versatility and postcode search facility. Oh and I carry my phone everywhere and Trekker, particularly in summer, can be awquard with a T-shirt, geans and no bag. I can't totally make my mind up between the two but I must say that the Wayfinder maps are comprehensive with less no named streets, something I hear Humanware haven't improved on in certain parts of the country.Oh well sorry that turned into a bit of a bitty post but I hope you can make sense of it.At 10:14 06/07/2008, you wrote:Hi Dean, and anyone else,What does Trekker have that Wayfinder Access doesn't? I would be vfery interested to know, first as a reseller of Wayfinder, so we can improve it, but secondly having tried them both, I can't see much missing in WF. In fact all the blindness solutions except Wayfinder Access annoy me intenselywith their lack of postal code support.

They both have their strengths and weaknesses but I've love to mix their features and then I should have the perfect package!
