[gps-talkusers] Charging the Motorola HF820 hands-free Bluetooth Speaker

Dear list,
Have any of you used the Motorola HF820 hands-free Bluetooth Speaker and the 
blue tooth dongle that turns sound output into blue tooth signal with the 
Sendero GPS on the BrailleNote, VoiceNote, or Pocket PK?  I was delighted to 
receive the dongle and speaker as a gift. However, the speaker (which is 
intended as a hands-free speaker for a cell phone in a car) comes with a 
cigarette lighter charger. I know Mike has used the Bluetooth dongle with a 
Bluetooth receiving output device. So I hope Mike or anyone else on this list 
can tell me what I need to do to charge the speaker -- short of plugging it 
into a friend's car and allowing it to stay there while they drive around and 
charge it (smile).

I really want to start using this, as I read braille with my left hand, work a 
guide dog in that hand, and can not hear my 
Braille Note GPS talking to me in many situations.

Best,
Terrie Terlau

  There are a number of ways to hear about intersections:

  1. When you have a route loaded, which means there is a waypoint at every 
intersection, and you have detailed Route announcements turned on, you will 
hear every intersection announced as you reach it. Alternatively, you can hear 
only announcements at the turning intersections by switching to turns only.

  2. Whenever you approach an intersection, it will automatically announce if 
you are traveling under 15 miles per hour. The reason for this speed limitation 
is so that you are not driven crazy in a vehicle where you 
  would hear intersections nonstop at higher speeds. When you stop at an 
intersection however, you will hear the announcement within 12 seconds.

  3. You can use multiple repeat of any command including Intersections at 
whatever interval you wish. Just press M then X to hear the intersection 
announced.

  4. You can press X at any time to hear the nearest intersection. If you are 
moving, you will hear the intersection ahead of you. If you are stationary, you 
will hear the nearest intersection.

  These options should give you plenty of options to fit most situations.

  Mike

I'm sure ours can do it too.
