[gps-talkusers] Re: Automatic announcement of intersections

I've actually that the receiver in the breeze isn't very accurate, which makes a big difference. I'm actually planning on doing a pod cast comparing way finder access and mobile geo side by side. Have to wait until a day of warm weather when I have time to do that, but it should be good.

Yes, that's the primary use of the Breeze but it was also made for use in a motorized vehicle. It is quite impressive how we would think that similar systems for similar uses would function the same way and provide useful information. This is a prime example of similar information but one being more useful over the other due to timing. This is the reason that I am a user of the Sendero GPS, Sendero Group knows what they're doing when it 
comes to GPS technology as they use it out in the field, perform
side-by-side comparisons, are always innovating and they are blind/ visually impaired themselves. This includes everyone from the CEO (Mike May), CTO 
(Charles LaPierre) and Customer Service/Technical Support (Chris/Gil).

It is my understanding that the Breeze was designed primarily to be
used
by a pedestrian.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Automatic announcement of intersections

Yesterday I had the opportunity to run Sendero GPS 5.03 and Trekker
Breeze side by side in a vehicle. Sendero GPS has a more useful way of 
announcing intersections.

1.  Sendero GPS 5.3 announces the name of the upcoming street shortly
after you go through the previous intersection. This gives you ample
time to tell your driver what to do. There is less time of course on
short blocks.
2. Trekker Breeze does not announce the upcoming intersection until you 
are almost on top of it when it is too late to do anything about it.
This isn't an issue when on foot but it is when traveling in a vehicle.
