Hi Steve

It wouldn't be fair for me to comment on either to any great extent, since it's Ian who uses them. I've only tinkered about with putting in information and, on Trekker, trying to edit names to save them as Points Of Interest. I know Ian has played with the Nokia stuff which seemed to bring up loads and loads of POI information, but it just isn't as accessible with TALKS in terms of being able to create a route etc.

What Ian says he misses about the latest version of WFA is the fact he can't check how many miles he is between destinations in the way he could on the previous version. For example, when he travelled from Kirkcaldy to Aberdeen to see me in hospital in December, he used the older version to identify how many miles he was from home. But he couldn't do it on the newer version apparently. I may have that wrong, but I seem to recall something along those lines anyway. (smile).

Very interesting thread.

Hi Dean, and anyone else,

What does Trekker have that Wayfinder Access doesn't?  I would be vfery
interested to know, first as a reseller of Wayfinder, so we can improve it,
but secondly having tried them both, I can't see much missing in WF.  In
fact all the blindness solutions except Wayfinder Access annoy me intensely
with their lack of postal code support.

All the best

Steve

I couldn't have written that better about Trekker pro and Access
myself!  They both have their strengths and weaknesses but I've love
to mix their features and then I should have the perfect package!

Hi Carol

Ian uses the Trekker Pro, but he also has Wayfinder Access on his
phone. This is a general hobby for him, and he thinks the whole
thing would be better if he could pick things from Trekker and
Wayfinder Access, and have them rolled into one decent product.  He
says Trekker Pro has got some real bugs in it, but he uses both
quite a lot just to find out where he is and putting his own landmarks in.

I'll be at Sight Village this year, so I'm hoping to perhaps have a
look at Trekker Breeze at some point, just to report back to Ian as
he is interested in it.

Incidentally, if any of you are going to Sight, please come and say
hello to me as it would be nice to put voices to the many of you I
have written to on and off list over the months.

Hi all,

My husband's thinking of getting the Trekker Breeze which I
understand is somewhat of a cut-down version of the GPS software
used with the BrailleNote family of products.  If anyone uses this,
I'd be interested in your observations, likes and dislikes and to
know how you use it (I mean, for what purposes you find it works for you).
