Bob, In addition to Mike's comments, I want to add that I had an opportunity
to use a Trekker about a year ago for a couple of weeks. I found there to
be more map discrepancies, and, at least at the time, the points of interest
were very limited. They may have improved on those things by now and if so,
it's size makes it a nice unit.

Bob,
As I said, Trekker is a good stand alone GPS solution. In terms of cost, your friend should note that inclusion of all maps with Trekker brings the price up over $2000. A classic VoiceNote with all its other Applications and GPS costs $2800. If he really doesn't want any other applications, the Trekker is great. Just realize that the price differential isn't that much for a host of other benefits plus the more extensive GPS with the VoiceNote.

I have a blind friend who is interested in a talking G P S. I have the voice note with the Sporttreck receiver.
He does not know Braille and is not interested in a note taker. He wants just a talking G P S for improved mobility for mostly around town.
. Would the trekker be a good choice?
