This is truly awesome.
I have a Trekker Breeze which it would appear is rapidly becoming obsolete.
Now all I need is a blind-friendly barcode reader.
I have a colour id app which does a better job at identification than
the device I paid almost $2,000 for 15 years ago.
Cheers

Just did a quick test on my own driveway using pointFinder app - made
sure was moving right up to time when asked it to save entry point of
gate on drive way as a point, to try counter any form of GPS
stationary drift effect, and then told it to find the point, trying
out a couple of different sound types - think like first one - bloop
the most for now - and it's amazing how usable/accurately it works,
and how it pretty much instantly 'clicked' in brain to follow right
sounds for directing me - literally just drifted around driveway,
specifically trying to sort of disorient myself by turning around,
etc., etc., and aside from verbal updates telling me I was within
range, since never really walked more than 5 meters away from saved
point, it kep on directing me pretty much exactly back to correct point.
In other words, just want to say, I am _very_ impressed...<smile>
Stay well
