Yes the breeze is a little over priced,
But it does work. it's a far cry from what it was when it first came out.
I have spent quite a lot of hours talking with hw to try and improve the
unit.
And I know others have as well it's nearly there now if they could put
blue tooth into it I would be very happy.
I think they would have to design a new unit it does run on Linux but I
don't know what flavor of Linux it uses. to sum up I don't go any where
without my breeze and I have found it life changing for me.
I have the i phone but didn't really get on all that well with the gps
programs I tried.
The breeze does tell you you are passing that bank that cafe that
mcdonnalds. where none of the gps solutions that are for the mainstream
market give me this information without having to swipe in the case of
the i phone.
If i have my dog in 1 hand and messages in the other I can't do that.
the breeze cuts it for me. there is room for some improvement but it's
really quite good and quite stable it does crash now and again but most
things do.

Hi,
What do people think is the best GPS solution for a blind pedestrian these
days?
I've never seen anything sufficiently accurate that I could rely on, but
there must be something out there.
I've been thinking about the Trekker Breeze, but wondered if there was
anything better; would consider getting and iPhone if that was a runner, as
it would be cheaper than the Breeze, which seems to be just under £600 with
the new postcode support once it's available.
