Ah, then in that case, I think it an unfair comparison. I accept that in terms
of what each provides, one could be considered better than another, but that
doesn't take in to account the consumer's starting place, which for many of us,
is with an existing mobile phone that had once had a successful gps software
solution. We still have the phone, just not the solution! -

no, neither, Mobile Geo is a Windows Mobile v6.5 devices and with Mobile
Speak and not Talks, and Sendero GPS works on PDA products like the Braille /
Voice Note.

Then I must check them out, but firstly, do they both work with TALKS and on
the N82? -

yes, definitely, much more versatile, user friendly and customisable to
your own requirements.

Neil - I'm gob smacked, are you really saying that either Sendero or GEO
are more than twice the product WFA was? 90% versus 40%? -

Amy,
Wayfinder Access offered full point to point navigation, an around you
look mode, a nearby mode, the ability to do other GPS functions using the
speech software on your phone.
with OVI you can do point to point, but you cannot learn about what is
around you as you travel using nearby or around you views.
I would say that where 100% represented a perfect GPS solution for the
blind, something like Sendero GPS or Mobile Geo represents say a 90% solution,
maybe more. whereas Wayfinder Access was say 40% there, with OVI and speech
services from Nuance or Code Factory being only 20 - 25% there.
those around you or nearby views gave a person a lot of info and were
essential to public transport usage.

Andy,
OVI Maps is not an alternative to Access in terms of a truly accessible
GPS program, it is though a workable solution to an extent.
the issue behind whether or not you'll have to pay for voice guidance is
dependant on phone model and version of FW that you are running on that phone.
thanks.

Hi all
I understand that I can use OVI maps as a gps solution to Access, on my
N82, but have also discovered that there is a charge from Nokia to use the
speech component of the software, so will Ovi maps work just with TALKS, as in
pedestrian mode under Access, or will I need to pay for the Nokia voicing
service? -
