Hi Barry,
Ah, this is a different animal. It is not a screen reader at all. The
Maestron is an ordinary Pocket PC, a Dell Axim in fact, with a special
overlay made, and a few self-voicing applications, including GPS. This is
by no means a screen reader. The only two screen readers proper, to my
knowledge, are Pocket Hal, or whatever Dolphin are going to call it, they
haven't decided yet <Grin>, and MobileSpeak Pocket from Code Factory. If
you install a third party application and try to use it with the Maestro,
and it hasn't been especially scripted, you will get diddly squat!
All the best

There's also that product from,
http://www.visuaide.com/HW/en/Maestro.asp
Which a friend owns and has the GPS working beautifully on it.
