Hi,
The DAB radio is going to be impossible without a hardware upgrade too.
All the best
Steve

Hi Yusuf
Top man, all good suggestions, but don't hold your breath on seeing them
implemented! (smile.)
Kind regards,

Subject: [access-uk] The New Victor Reader Trek
Hi, Apologies if you see this twice but I wanted to get to as many people as
possible. I've been in contact with Humanware about the new Victor Reader
Trek, which I think sounds like a really good product, to ask about making
some changes and was hoping that if anyone agreed they might consider
writing as well?
So, I've asked for them to look in to implementing a Digital Radio rather
than an FM radio in the UK as that would seem to be more useful than an FM
one given the signals will eventually be turned off. Given the lack of
accessible Digital Radios as discussed here it would be a great selling
point if Digital Radio could be supported. Of course there might be a
technical reason why this isn't possible.
I've also asked about the ability to switch downloaded podcasts to an SD
card rather than the default internal memory. Yes, I know this can be done
manually but I find that a bit of a faff, and I think it would be quite easy
to allow the user to select whether to download podcasts to the internal
memory or SD card by default.
I've also asked about being able to access RNIB Talking Books directly from
the device.
On the GPS side of things I've asked for the ability to create routes where
the start and end points are addresses/Points of interest, as I understand
it it isn't possible to do this and routes have to be created from a current
location to a POI/Address. I'm also trying to get clarification on whether
it's possible to have more than one map on the device. So, if you live in
the UK we'll get access to the Europe map, but if you go on holiday to the
US you might want to purchase a map for that as well. If it isn't possible
I'm asking that it should be.
I'm not sure if web radio will be supported at the outset, that seemed to be
what the Humanware rep was suggesting and I queried this as it seems to me
that should be there from the get go. I also mentioned the issue around
being able to search by country as well as name when trying to find radio
stations.
The more of us that write to Humanware with things we want to see the more
likely it is they will happen.

I've set up a FundMe account to help cover the ongoing costs of my PhD. I'd
be very grateful if you'd consider donating. Thank you!
