Thanks, Dave. I think it's the all-in-one factor that interests Mike, together with its (supposed) ease of use. Of course I shall have a play and I've said I'll nick the external speaker (if I can! <Smiles>)

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.

I'm so sorry we won't be able to make Sight Village again this year ... but perhaps some time.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.

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). -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 3244 (20080705) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
