Oh, I didn't know about the 1 year requirement. They didn't ask about that in the Application. Gerry

The only requirement is that you have to have had your dog guide for one year before they will train you on the Trekker. The school doesn't matter. Also, Gerry, you do have to fill out an application even if you got your dog from them. I know of three people who have trained with the Trekker and they have Leader Dogs. All three had to apply for admittance.

they don't care where you got your dog. If you have gotten a dog from them,
then you don't have to do another application.

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.

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.
