[gps-talkusers] Re: {gps-talkusers} Re: {gps-talkusers} Re: Braille note classic

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.
