[GeoStL] NGR-Make-a-wish

-
I received an email yesterday from a friend of mine who works with the 
Make-a-Wish foundation.  She wants some information about GPS systems.  I 
explained what I know but I decided to draw on the collective wisdom of this 
group for some ideas. I have summarized several emails here to show what she is 
thinking about and looking for. Reply to the list, I will collect and summarize 
them and pass them along.

Thanks for your help.

Hello, all.  I am working on a wish for a little boy with a life-threatening 
illness who loves mapping.  

This little boy is only 6 -- but heavily into maps -- and understands them 
really quite awesomely well.

Is that too young, do you think?  Do GPS systems talk?  He is way into things 
that talk to him.

Someone else researched today and found a globe of some sort that talks at you. 
 Know anything about it?

I've heard of the GPS for the car -- how much do those run?  
He wants to follow along as they drive to xxxxxxxxxxx (their preferred choice 
of travel).
 
Can the GPS be put in the back, where he will be?
 
Anything you can learn would be great.  

THANK YOU so much.  You'll be helping a little boy who so deserves it!
:-)
