Steve,
Well, there is the WayFinder Access, which is an accessible GPS solution for
the Symbian based phones. Mike May did a review of this solution last summer
and I am sure that there are a few PodCast and other such reviews that
others have done which can be found online.

Too bad it is on the Windows Mobile platform. Would be nice if somebody
would develop it wo work on Symbian based phones like the KFNB Reader does,
or obversely, that the KNFB Reader would work on Windows Mobile platforms
too.
Pretty expensive to have two non-compatible cell phones to run either
product.

I am equally excited about the Sendero GPS being ported onto more and more
devices and platforms. This is amazing that this is just the beginning. I am
eagerly awaiting to see what else Sendero has for the future.

I'm really excited about this new venture that Sendero Group has taken up.
Offering the best GPS package known to the blind on a more universal device
is definitely a step in the right direction. I just hope that they decide to
bundle it with a PDA, or PDA phone with a better battery life than ones I've
seen and used thus far.
