Hi Sandra.Thanks for the info, I had read about it on the RNIB site and was curious to know from them why the hefty price tag. The Kapten Plus which was released in 2010 and which I have recently acquired costs just under £200, the only difference I can see between the two devices are the better battery life, Daisy player, memo recording function and expandable memory. Does this command a price tag that is over double the price of its predecessor and if so, what's it all about.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: whizza

Hi, Here's the blurb about the Kapten mobility from the New Product Guide which I received today. Kapten Mobility voice activated sat nav (HT279) Never get lost again. Find your location, discover what's nearby, save your favourite places, retrace your journey and navigate to any postcode or street address. Kapten's intuitive software lets you take control using the large tactile buttons or your voice. It's not just a sat nav though, it's also a DAISY and MP3 player to keep you entertained on those long journeys, as well as a voice recorder to make notes and reminders wherever you are. So wherever you're travelling, you'll really feel lost without your Kapten Mobility. save locations with a voice recording so they will be easy to find and return to again if you get lost, you can retrace your steps at the touch of a button hear details of your route along the way with street names, junctions and local landmarks so you can be sure you're heading in the right direction enter a city and street name or a postcode with the house number (please note: house names are not compatible) and navigate to a location you have never been to before, anywhere in the UK key describer mode and instructions in DAISY format are preloaded to get you up and running listen to directions using its built-in speaker or lapel speaker long battery life (up to 18 hours). Priced £425.00 and £510.00 Hope it's useful.
