What you really need is a one cell type of display on the finger position of a cane so that you could scroll through the most important and related displays while traveling. Maybe a thumb wheel to scroll and a cell positioned under the index finger with bluetooth communication.

I would think this would be difficult because folks usually use their cane and read Braille both with their dominant hand.

Armando, you said you used your cane with your right hand. 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.
