APH has an 18 cell bluetooth display for $1695. It is
extremely small and light.

I have the 40 cell model from Humanware and it's about
the size of a TV remote control, it fits in my pocket and
the end kind of sticks out a little. But they do sell
shorter ones. And even this one beats carrying a BN
everywhere IMHO.

I've wondered about that, do those displays really fit in
your pocket? I'be thought often it would probably be hard
to hear the speech and the environmnt around you at the
same time. So courious how the tiny displays do
work. I've seen a small one, but not one that is truly
pocket sized. ----- Original Message -----

Hi Eric,
I use Mobile Geo and I love it. I use the Hollux
external receiver and it holds its battery charge longer
than my phone does. But I do switch it off when not
actively using the GPS. I use the brailliant 40
bluetooth display
which fits in my pocket. This combination is a lot
smaller than any braillenote model. I don't always bring
the display with me but I always have my phone anyway so
it is a sensible option. And it seems like sendero/code
factory have been getting the upgrades out pretty
consistently.
I would recommend mobile Geo.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] How well does mobile geo work?
I'm thinking about getting either mobile geo or
brailleNote GPS to replace my SenseNav, since GW have
dropped the ball in regards to updates. I'm leaning
towards mobile geo due to the portability and small size
of a cell phone. However I have several issues.
1. Battery life. Using a bluetooth receiver plus
things like WiFi must drain the phone's battery quickly.
What kinds of results have others had?
2. No braille display
3. Since Sendero is lisencing the product and not
building it themselves, it could suffer from the same
lack of updates as SenseNav. However I understand that
the features of Sendero GPS version 5 are available for
mobile geo, whereas SenseNav hasn't been updated in well
over a year.
Thoughts and suggestions would be apreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Eric
