[gps-talkusers] Re: New Blue Tooth ?Trekker.

Hello Bob,

Go to the trekker list and check it out. I don't hear much complaining. As far as I know you can not record a root while you are traveling it, and there isn't a gathering of user POIS. There may be other small differences, but I'm not sure. You can go to humanware.ca and download the software for the trekker, and then open it and read the manual. Gerry

Hello Dick,
Have you used the Bluetooth Trekker?
My friend Scott wants to buy one but we are not sure how well it works out.
I have the Voice Note with G P S program 2.0 but wonder how the Trekker works with the palm computer?
Any experience Dick?

Hello, Gerry,
TYhasnk you for the update. From what I read, I thought the student had to have received his guide dog through the school. Either way, especially if they actually do not require you to have got your guide from the, I think it is nice of them to offer that 5 day training course.

Leader Dogs is the school. They offer the plane flight and a five day class free. You must buy the trekker from them. You must go through the application process just as if you were wanting a dog. They don't care if you use a cane or a Guide dog. They only want to train for the trekker. Gerry

Hello, Bob,
There is a guide dog training school that is associated with the trekker. They will give 5 days training on the Trekker if you have got your dog from that school. Even if you have not, the first grad from that Trekker course wrote a long commentary on his experience. My hard drive crashed and I lost most of my data on that guy, but I think someone on this list can clue you in.

Hello Mike,
I wonder how it is to handle the palm computer that comes with the Trekker.
I am researching this for a friend who is not skilled at Braille yet he would like to travel with information in our area provided by the G P S.
Do you know of anyone who has used the Trekker and how they find it as a tool for traveling?
Bob

Bob,

Trekker covers the basics quite nicely. It doesn't have all the functionality of the BrailleNote GPS. Since you already have a VoiceNote, it is somewhat of an academic question. Trekker is more of an option for someone who doesn't have or intend to get a PDA. Its Menu driven interface is something one should check out more than the GPS features to see if it works for you.

Hello Mike,
I use the voice note with G P S version 2.0. I hope to up grade soon.
As far as the trekker's computer or Palm computer, have you used it?
does it give you as much navigational information as using a voice note?
Thanks Mike.
