    Neil
    When I went to buy my phone, by simply walking into the Vodafone shop, they 
could only offer me one phone, they said, which could run Talks.  I’ve taken 
that, by reading this list, to mean that I was offered the only Simbion phone 
they had in stock.  It seemed that was my only choice.
    I know I could, in a fantasy, have simply gone for Ifone and Voiceover, but 
could I have bought something between the two, and run Talks, please?
    I’m happy with my phone, except that it was a recon’, and I’m concerned 
that it might not have a great life span.  It doesn’t do wifi, but I don’t much 
mind; only really want a phone, and to play books and music.  Sat’ nav’ would 
be great, but not essential.  So, I’m not that bothered, but it would have been 
nice to actually choose a phone,rather than only have one option.

    Alex,

    you were only left with nothing if you made the personal choice to stick 
with Symbian...

    Neil, agreed, but Maps is certainly better than the nothing we were going 
to be left with at the end of March.

    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? -
