[gps-talkusers] a brave new world

Hello, Gerry,
I think I am going to stick with my original figures here, with the Maestro 
PDA at one thousand one hundred and ninety five dollars, the Trekker for one 
thousand five hundred and ninety nine dollars, and the GPS maps for two 
hundred fifty dollars per state, as plainly advertised on the Visuaide site.
Perhaps you could tell us what they say when you offer them twenty three 
dollars and ninety five cents.  However, my tender ears should not hear 
things like that.  The cheapest GPS receiver I have been able to find costs 
about ninety dollars.  The Trekker maps are a little pricey because I can 
buy a single CD from Garmin that covers all states and costs about one 
hundred sixty dollars.  However, that Garmin map set may not work with 
whatever screen reading software is on the Maestro.  Doesn't it run the TALX 
software screen reading package?  The last I heard, which was a couple years 
ago, TALX was about three hundred dollars when installed in the Nokia 9290 
cellphone and computer combined.  The 9290 is about the best thing since 
sliced bread for VI people, but I don't know if a braille display can be 
connected to it.  Those Nokia people are pretty fast, so I would not be 
surprised if they were developing a full GPS package for blind and 
deaf-blind.

Regards

Dick Myers

Hey you guys,

The trekker is $23.95 with all US maps.  You don't have to buy the maestro
software along with it.  Also when you buy trekker you get the receiver with
it.  Later this year when they get the blue tooth part working you will
beable to choose your own receiver.  Look on the Visuaide web site for more
information.  Gerry
