Hello Donald,
I am quite certain that there is nothing "big" coming out in the next few
months regarding GPS from PDI as a result of the merger between them and
VisuAide. VisuAide's Trekker is build for an IPAQ, a self voicing application
and for them to convert it over to be a plug-in module for the BrailleNote
would take months of development. Lets say for sake of argument they started
to work on this as soon as they merged and put 2 full time developers on this
project, it would be sometime next summer before you would see anything, and
then it would still be competing with BrailleNote GPS, a product PulseData
already sells. So it doesn't make sense for them to spend all that time and
money in R&D to come out with a product which they already have.
Just my thoughts anyway. I could be totally wrong here, but this is how I
see it.

Maybe they are working on something big and it will come out in a few months.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Donald
