[gps-talkusers] Re: Automatic announcement of intersections

Actually, I believe the chipset used in the Breeze is MTK, which his the
same chipset used by the Holux M-1000. I would be very much interested in
this side-by-side comparison of WayFinder Access and Mobile Geo. I think
that Blind Cool Tech would be a great place to host this comparison as many
will be able to benefit from it.
