My post got in late since others already chimed in, but I noticed a like sales
pitch too, which
wouldn't be a bad idea if it wasn't that the upgrade of the braille note
classic to an mPower only,
(he says only like it isn't much,) costs $2,000.
The other option would be to wait a little while and go with Sendero GPS on a
cell phone with Mobile
Speaks and Mobile GO.
Of the currently available GPS for blind people, those look like the best
options, as much as I do like the
Voice Sense with Sense Nav, the prices to get into anything different for the
average blind person is a
monsterous obsticle.
At this point, as long as the common factor is the Sendero GPS, they are all
great products in
my opinion.
And no, I don't work for Sendero or get anykick-backs.
