Jason,
Too the best of my knowledge the Street Talker has not been released. We
have been hearing about an announcement for the past year or so.
I could not comment about it's functionality with out knowing more about the
product. The Street Talker product is a solid GPS system that is used by
the sighted community. From our experience attempting to redesign an
existing product to fit the needs of the vision impaired community is a
difficult task. Maybe someone else on the list may have more information.

Hi Mike and list,
I was searching the Freedom Scientific website and came across News articles
of guys being given street talker for the Pac mate. I was surprised at this
as I have been waiting for its release, as they have promiced Australian
maps. I phoned to inquire about its availability. I was told that it is said
to be released next week. Which I notice coincides with a large technology
expo. However, I was informed by another person from the company that there
is no release date and that the news reports were probably only trials. Why
tease us by suggesting it is available? I am wondering how one guy rode in
a marathon using the street talker as a guide. I am learning a lot of the
good and bad things of GPS through this list.
thanks Jason
