[gps-talkusers] having fun with the BrailleNote PK

Happy Thanks Giving listers.

I am enjoying my first real testing with the BrailleNote PK and GPS. Looks 
like most of the kinks are sorted out and we just need to test thoroughly now.

I am using the Bluetooth version of the Earthmate GPS receiver. It is so 
cool to have a wireless GPS receiver and the PK is so small compared with 
the 32 cell BrailleNote.

I'll mention some of the differences I notice so far. It really calculates 
routes fast. A 500 mile route took less than 5 minutes.
You can use the media player at the same time as the GPS. So, you can 
listen to the audio tutorial while running the GPS application or you could 
be listening to music. Even with Look Around mo0de and repeat intersections 
on and a route open, there was no sluggishness.
I enjoy being able to place the Bluetooth receiver on the dash of the car 
while sitting in the back of the van, no issues of cable length. Bluetooth 
is supposed to work up to 30 feet away so that makes remote placement of 
the receiver convenient.

I have used my Nokia 6600 cell phone running it as a Bluetooth modem to the 
PK so I could get on the Internet.

More details as I spend time with this new unit. Pretty darn cool.
