Interesting. First, 150 what, dollars, pounds, some other currency? Does it have POI's and maps? If so, are the POI's and maps upgradeable? I wonder how the voice recognition does in high noise situations? Sounds like it's being marketed to the general public rather then blind folks. Interesting if so, as I think most sightees would not buy something without a visual display--the more colorful, 
all the better, smile. Jim

Hello everyone.
Here is a very brief discription about the Kapten

Take care.

While most people already find it hard enough to read a road map and have to rely on something more advanced like a multimedia interface on a GPS navigation system to help them get around, the Kapsys Kapten GPS navigation system requires one to really sharpen up one's listening skills since it does not come with a single pixel of display. Yes sir, instructions are belted out using only voice recognition and text-to-speech capability. I suppose this could be used while driving, but it works best when walking, measuring a highly portable 74mm x 44mm x 13mm while weighing just 50 grams. Inside you will find a SiRFStar III GPS chipset and 4GB of internal memory. The Kapsys Kapten will be out in the middle of next month for approximately 150?.

Flor:

Thanks all over the place.

It seems to be quite hard to Google much information about the system.

Again, thanks all over the place.
