Since I am the developer of the BrailleNote GPS I should be able to answer
this question.
Big pause
But PDI hasn't given me ANY information on the new version of the
BrailleNote GPS, so the short answer is no there will be no blue tooth GPS
receiver in this version.
I am crossing my fingers that when they do release the new version
BrailleNote, the GPS option will still work with it! This is exactly what
happened to Visuaide working on the Trekker for the PacMate and when FSI
upgraded to their new Notetaker they didn't keep Visuaide in the loop and
now there is no GPS option on the latest PacMate.
You all in this list if you feel strongly that GPS MUST be a part of the
new BrailleNote then you need to contact PDI and make your voices heard.
Now I am not saying GPS will not be part of the new BrailleNote I just
don't know. Actually this is the first time I have heard the name "pk
version". GPS may just work right out of the box, but experience has
taught me this is not the case and some development will have to be made to
make it play nice with the new hardware.
