Hi all
Picked this up from NCTech (http://www.nctech.co.za/ ) today so that I can
test it and see how it works.
FWIW, it's a fully functional GPS unit specifically designed for blind/VIP
people, including a PDA unit that can also do some other things like read
eBooks, play music files etc. etc., but which is mainly linked via Bluetooth
to an actual GPS receiber so you can use the talking interface and all the
rubberised buttons to 'navigate' everywhere in various modes including
pedestrian mode, motorised mode, finding points of interest, building routes
based on addresses etc. etc.
Anyway, I've basically got it for something around 2 weeks to 'play' with
and see how good the functionality is, and whether I'm gonna really think
that it's 'useful' as such etc.
Anyway, I'll keep you up to date in terms of how good it works etc., and for
interests sake, you actually use a small braille built-in keyboard to input
data, but it can also be linked to various other bluetooth/computer devices
so that you can, for example, link it to a full bluetooth keyboard, copy
music and eBook files across etc. etc.
Anyway, like I said, I'll let you know.
Stay well
Jacob Kruger
