I try to do that, but the ergonomics on the pk makes my wrist tired which does not allow me to read the display properly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Grabowski" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ok, just be careful and avoid any sidewalk cracks (smile).

I was walking down the street one day. the Cain got cought in a sidewalk crack and then slammed into the braillenote braking off 2 keys. From that day forward my Braillenote is always on the opposite side of the hand my Cain is in. Hope this helps.

Could you put the braille note on your left side and read the braille display with your left hand while using the cane? Just a thought. <smiles> Hope and Beignet -----Original Message----- From: gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Armando Maldonado Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2007 1:59 AM To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: e: Re: gps features compared? Everybody has their own preferences when it comes to the two competitive products, trekker vs. sendero. I may not know much but after talking to my trainer who trained me in using sendero gps, I love being able to shut off the speaker and use the braille display for noisy environment. The drawback to this is that since I use my cane righthanded, I am unable to read the display, an don't feel like blowing up the speaker on the pk, so that's why I just use sighted assistance if possible. Furthermore, I feel annoyed carying the pk when bad weather occurs and that's when I wish that a cell phone like gps can take its place. Overall, the two systems has its advantages and disadvantages, and it's a matter of what people like and feel comfortable with. This is just my thoughts.
