In response to your other questions Jim, I have seen the unit but not being a French speaker, I couldn't test it. Reports are positive from the users I talked to. When and if it will come to the U.S. is unknown.

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.
Cherryl
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.

to be out there? If so. how so?
