Hello Dick,
Have you used the Bluetooth Trekker?
My friend Scott wants to buy one but we are not sure how well it works out.
I have the Voice Note with G P S program 2.0 but wonder how the Trekker
works with the palm computer?
Any experience Dick?

Hello, Gerry,
TYhasnk you for the update. From what I read, I thought the student had to have received his guide dog through the school. Either way, especially if they actually do not require you to have got your guide from the, I think it is nice of them to offer that 5 day training course.

Leader Dogs is the school. They offer the plane flight and a five day class free. You must buy the trekker from them. You must go through the application process just as if you were wanting a dog. They don't care if you use a cane or a Guide dog. They only want to train for the trekker. Gerry

Hello, Bob,
There is a guide dog training school that is associated with the trekker. They will give 5 days training on the Trekker if you have got your dog from that school. Even if you have not, the first grad from that Trekker course wrote a long commentary on his experience. My hard drive crashed and I lost most of my data on that guy, but I think someone on this list can clue you in.

Hello Mike,
I wonder how it is to handle the palm computer that comes with the Trekker.
I am researching this for a friend who is not skilled at Braille yet he would like to travel with information in our area provided by the G P S.
Do you know of anyone who has used the Trekker and how they find it as a tool for traveling?
Bob

Bob,
Trekker covers the basics quite nicely. It doesn't have all the functionality of the BrailleNote GPS. Since you already have a VoiceNote, it is somewhat of an academic question. Trekker is more of an option for someone who doesn't have or intend to get a PDA. Its Menu driven interface is something one should check out more than the GPS features to see if it works for you.
