Hi Clive,
I am only curious, because someone told me that they had tried it, and it is
no use for moving around. It doesn't give you your current location in a
textual form, only a graphical map, but I will try it now you have said this
much is text.
All the best

Hello Steve,
Yes, I would think so. When you select the option to enter information
manually Talks says the field names followed by text, so these must be text
fields, starting with name. This is true apart from category where you
select from a pull-down list. these must be points of interest, as you have
accommodation, businesses, education etc, 15 in all. I checked these and
they are all empty. Once you have selected this you go on down the fields:
Street, postal/zip code, city etc. this includes latitude, longitude and
altitude. If you choose to do this automatically you are prompted to have
Bluetooth on if it isn't already and then it searches for a Bluetooth
device, which would be the GPS receiver. At this point, would the phone
connect to your network? I suppose it would to find the map of your local
area.
what I would like to know is how this program compares with other software.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
