Hi. Just out of interest. On one of my other lists some guy posted a
review of a GPS system he is besotted with. He used to use mobile Speak but
doesn't any more as he thinks the system he has now is by far more accurate
and responsive. He is American and I've no idea if it is available here and
in any case, it isn't for me as I now have a Trekker Pro. From what he says
it uses Google maps and uses something called "Walkie Talkie." This is a
female voice. He takes a car trip from his home to a local restaurant and
then back home. I have the sound files here of his trip and if anyone wants
to here it, I'll upload it to Send Space and send you the link, just let me
know. I haven't listened to the entire thing so can't give an honest
opinion but I'm sure you will come to your own conclusion. I also have
another presentation with demonstration in the field of an GPS app for the
Iphone called navagon. I have listened to this one in it's entirety and
thought it was very good. The guy who does the presentation boght all the
USA maps for only $45 and the Navagon app is cheap also. If you want this
one then let me know and I'll upload it. Walter.

Chris,
perhaps, but the question is how long are you prepared to wait, a month, 6
months, a year, or longer? people who have Wayfinder Access need an option
by no later than the end of March 2011.

Hi all.
Let's all try to be positive please. I have no doubts that if Code Factory
can get Ovi Maps to work, so can Nuance. It's just a matter of time. In fact
I was talking to someone at my housing association this morning working at
the sensory team. I told them that I would love to try GPS. This very topic
came up and I was just positive that Talks will come out with similar
support in the future. When it does I will sure upgrade both my phone and
Talks so that I can use Ovi Maps. As I say though, it's just a matter of
time.
Take care.
