[gps-talkusers] product comparisons

With regard to the emails about StreetTalk and the BrailleNote GPS, I offer the following comments.

If, like Gene, you have a Pac Mate, the StreetTalk is the only option. Every product has is quirks and my suggestion, is go for it, make the most of every product and that is the one if you have a Pac Mate.

Having said that, don't think that a main stream manufacturer is going to add features for blind users. You get what you get with the base product and if a few blind friendly features creep into the product, consider yourself lucky. One can't ignore the fact that a niche market with a few users is not going to influence a major manufacturer. Buy the product for what it is but don't expect many blind friendly changes.

This is the reality of trade offs. You get a descent product for a very good price versus the Cadillac of products for 3 times the price.

In a world with unlimited resources, we would have the Sendero GPS on the PC platform, Pocket PC, Pac Mate, cell phone and BrailleNote. In the real world, we are quite happy to have a product which has set the standard for excellence and a company dedicated to supporting it. Thanks to all folks with all products and opinions for helping us make these inroads. We got the ball rolling, you help it keep rolling and today we have 3 good GPS products where there were none just over 6 years ago when Sendero began.
