Two slight clarifications on Andy's statements.
If you have no device at all, then a Breeze or Trekker are relatively
less expensive at $1699 for the Trekker. If you already have a Voice
Sense for Example or a PK, both are quite small and the addition of
GPS is less expensive than Trekker.
Geo on a phone is also less than Trekker if you already have the
phone and screen reader.
For low vision users, Garmin has a 5 inch screen Nuvi. I think it is
the 1470T. Most GPS screens are in the 3 inch range.

There is also the Trekker from Humanware. Less sophisticated than
Sendero, but much less expensive and easier to learn to use. Also,
much more portable, as it uses a PDA, which can easily slip into a
briefcase or coat pocket, or be worn on a belt, or clipped to a
guide dog harness.

loadstone ? Are you serious? She said it was for a job, not for a
hobbiest GPS Solution. When you're talking employment, the product
has to be solid and supported. You just said that you need a
computer to plan routes, sometimes the up front costs are worth it
if the solution helps you keep or obtain employment. Sendero has
some of the best tech support in this industry. I've had to contact
them a time or two and they always assisted me with my issue to get
me up and running. When you have an appointment or place to be at a
specific time, that support is important. loadstone may work if
you're not talking about an employment situation but I can't see how
it can be considered in any other serious context.

Hi
I recommend getting a nokia 6220 classic, putting talks on it and
using loadstone with a hollux m1000. if you got a computer even a
netbook, there are tools which gives loadstone the power of sendero
including route planning. I am very happy with loadstone. sendero
products are way over my budget. the loadstone route planner tool is
the same one used by sendero and you can also get tons of points of
interest. loadstone has both navigation and exploration modes and
the ability to record routes. only thing I hope they improve is the
ability to make routes and play back recorded routes right from the
phone currently you gotta use computer based tools to do these
things but still works great! just plan all your routes ahead of
time get your points of interest and throw the stuff on your phone
in the right folders, and away you go! oh and if you want a nice
inexpensive reader for the nokia 6220 classic get the beyo cbs
reader for $100 or so.

(updated frequently). Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying
thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA, get a mac--, nvda--for
Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or
knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are
the most accessible for beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage
those at <http://www.cherrypal.com>www.cherrypal.com to use
windows-xp and nvda knoppix-adriane Vinux-cli-max or grml so all
blind people can have an accessible computer.
