We took a look at the Garmin nuvi this weekend, and it is a neat little
device. It is not only a GPS system, but also contains a travel guide,
language translator, MP3 player, Audible book player, etc. There is
some speech, but limited. And, it is pricy, over $600 on line, and
about $800 in stores. Another option for Verizon Wireless customers is
their VZ Navigator system. They are running a special where you get the
Motorola Razor V3F camera phone for $69, and the navagator for $9.95 per
month. It seems to provide about as much spoken feedback as the Nuvi,
and access to some of the other info, but no music or book player,
however, there are other more high end phones that will work with the
navagator. Keep in mind that it appears that none of these devices are
accessible to a blind person.
