Does the trekker breeze work if you put it in your pocket?
And can you connect a discrete headphone to it or do you have to wear a
leather strap across your front with a speaker attached to it on your
shoulder?
Quite apart from that not being a great look, if it's the only way you can
use it, I just don't know if I'd be bothered picking up all that stuff
before I head out of the front door.
Thoughts appreciated.
Thanks

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

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.
