Roger - this is just the GPS receiver that locks on to the satellites, no use on it's own, your friend would still need a programme such as the Way Finder Access software, designed for blind users, and costing £259, in addition to the 50 quid for that particular receiver Steve mentioned; though there are lots of receivers on the market, some cheaper, some costing more. This then all works with a mobile phone, so one of those is needed, plus the TALKS software to make it talk. If your friend has non of this already, then the phone plus TALKS and then the Navigating extras will prove quite expensive, though expense is all relative, but don't get me on the topic of relatives, not at this late hour <smile> - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: roger south To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 10:10 PM Subject: [access-uk] Fw: Re: holux m1000 Hi Steve Managed to find the items in questions and the forward below is part of the discussion. I got the impression it was to do with GPS but if not maybe you could tell me what the equipment is please.

It is the best Holux receiver I have seen to date, in fact it is the best receiver I have seen. We are selling it for 50 quid. All the best Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of terrcooper Sent: 23 July 2007 15:10 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] holux m1000 Hi Steve and all Steve, do you have any feed back at all, regarding the above receiver? I think I remember you saying last week, that you had just got one, and were going to be trying it out. Any news would be appreciated.
