Isn't a Pacmate a machine. How is one going to carry a mini device around with
them. I take it you can't place it in your pocket in the same way as a phone.

Hi Phil,
There's been some talk recently on the
gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
list run by Sendero. Primarily they worked first with BrailleNote, but there's
now some work being done with Freedom Scientific so their GPS (rated by some as
the very best and certainly good) will soon be coming to the PacMate.
As you already own one of these, watch this space!
Sorry, not being very interested in that particular subject, I didn't pay close
attention, just noted it was happening. I don't think "When" was actually
stated, but I could be wrong on that one!

Hi,
Have been off list for a while and so apologies if I'm a bit behind the times
here but I am really interested to know where things are at with GPS systems.
I have never used any of the systems before but I am really interested in
knowing how well the various options work, which ones people use and why. I
guess my thinking it's between Wayfinder or StreetTalk as I do already have a
Pacmate - although I'm not 100% sure whether you can get StreeTalk for the UK.
One thing I would like whiever one I get is to be able help me get around the
University of Birmingham campus where I work although I'm not sure how well GPS
would work with finding specific buildings especially as the whole campus all
comes under the same postcode.
As I say apologies if there's been loads of traffic on this recently and I'm
late in on it.
Looking forward to people's responses,
Cheers,
Phil
