Hi list David do you know what os the breeze runs on. I use gps a lot when tuning. I thought the price was nearer £500. ? At 21:38 05/07/2008, you wrote:
Carol, There are a few differences. Firstly the part which picks up the satellite signals is contained within the trekker unit itself whereas before it was connected separately. Secondly the unit is a good deal smaller. Finally, it is about half the price, £385 I believe. Simplicity of operation is also a main difference. I have used Trekker and do not find it particularly intuitive. Having said that, others get on well with it and love it. I believe there are only four or five keys on the new Breeze which is far fewer than trekker/maestro.
