Hi Ibrahim
I tried it a couple of years ago and wasn't particularly impressed at that
time. But if it has been updated, revamped or improved upon, then I would
be curious as I am about technology generally. I am just wondering what
could be better about it to warrant the cost?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie.
Have you ever used the Kapten Plus? I think the Mobility is based on the
same principles as the Plus, just with an all in one integrated approach
rather than the speaker and device approach the Plus takes. With the KP you
need to plug in a speaker or pair of headphones, they supply you with both
but the KM is an all in one.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim
If anyone has used this, just wondering how it compares to the Trekker
Breeze?
Kind Regards,

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.

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.
Cheers,
Sandra.
