[gps-talkusers] Re: gps on laptops

I can understand that there is a demand for the Sendero products on 
different blindness specialist products and on mobile phones but I really 
cannot see the point in developing versions of the software for every 
operating system. The cheaper versions of the EEE machines are shipped with 
Linux in the UK. The more expensive ones have one or other of the Windows 
operating systems. Unless there is a proven demand for it then I don't think 
Sendero should spend time on developing it. There are enough items on the 
wish list to keep them going for quite some time anyway.

With these new small subnotebooks, not much larger than a BN, a version
of sendero might be worht thinking about.  You can get an ASUS EEE 900
from www.buy.com for less than $400.

I purchased The Windows version of "Atlas speaks" several years ago and
used it a great deal on my desk top computer no less.
Although I think that putting GPS on a lap top would be a giant step
backwards, I do think that there might be a market for the limited
version to be put on a standard computer.  The name escapes me, but I am
thinking about the version that does not allow for GPS.  It would be for
those who would want to check out a route in vertual mode before or
after walking the route.

As for R and D on this, though, I think time might be better spent on
continuing development of the software on a cell phone.
Now that is easily portable.  I think the price would be less than that
of a PDA plus the GPS software.
