Hi. No, you can't use Talks with the Iphone. Personally, I am just happy with the talks I have as it does what I want it to do, except GPS. I'm not into hi-tech gadgets in this field so won't be getting an Ifone anytime soon, if ever. .

Hi Walter IF you're using ifone do you need Talks as well then? I got the impression the ifone allows access via it's on-board speech...? Anyway, that's the Trekker Breeze ruled out for me; thanks for your help with that.

Hi I guess I might as well post the links for those two demonstrations here, this way it will save me having to send multiple mails. As for the Breeze, this is only a route reminder, not a rout finder, you must travel the rout first. Certainly the Navagon for the Ifone won't work with talks but I'm not sure about the Walky Talky app. He might say, I'm not sure. The links are below and they are MP3. Walter.

Hi Walter Any and all info on this topic much appreciated by me. I'm using Talks, currently, and own a Trekker Pro'. Don't get on with the Trekker at all though; it's way to hefty and cumbersome for me and too techie; too many gadgets to carry; too tempting for muggers. So, I@m looking for a cheap and effective sat' nav' solution. Pretty urgently needing help with this question. Is anyone finding Trekker Breeze particularly good? That's at least a sat' nav' in just one box, isn't it? Thanks lots for any help.

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.

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.

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.
