Hello, Ms. Felix,
As you read about GPS from the various places, you will begin to realize that most of what they say has little information or meaning, and is slanted toward promoting their own products, with the truth
taking a back seat.

Please tell us where you got those Trekker and PacMate demos.

Thanks so much for the very simple statement. I am starting to understand. So I need to research three players not all the other technology.

OK so now I have another question for all of you GPS users. What are the pros and cons of each of them???? As users I would guess you have your favorites and reasons why they are your favorites. So spill, as they say.

I did find a place where I can get a demo of the Trekker and the pac mate GPS unit.

Thanks so much all of your for the explanations. I already fell smarter!!!!

Tara

the Trekker is another GPS system and it uses the Royaltech bluetooth receiver.

there are three players in the gps for blind people--Braille Note, Trekker and Pac mate.

Hi Tara,

OK, the Blue Logger, Earthmate and Magellan are GPS receivers.   the
Blue Logger is wireless, using Bluetooth technology to connect to a
notetaker or PDA.

These receivers connect to notetakers, most notably the BrailleNote
and the PacMate.  These are adaptive equipment for the blind.

The Trekker GPS system uses a standard PDA, (Personal Data Assistant),
which has a plastic overlay so that it can be used by the blind.

That should be a start.  Keep asking questions.

Ann P.
