[Blindtlk] Accessible GPS advice?

[Mike Freeman]

The compass, position indicator etc. can be used without the Internet.
However, I suspect that one needs the Internet to translate GPS readings
into actual street locations. The software can be downloaded without wifi so
doubt it has self-contained maps.

Hi,
	I have a question about the Ariadne
GPS.  Does it have to have Internet, or can it be used without it?

Sincerely,
Jasmine

I also like Ariadne GPS.  Navigon can be expensive but also does a
creditable job.  Ariadne GPS doesn't give you routes but tells you where you
are, compass heading and nearness to points of interest you enter in as you
get to them.

I am not terribly interested in street-by-street directions as there are too
many variables that change too often given the paucity of map updates
normally experienced these days.

Do you have an iPhone? If you do.  There is a good app called Telenav, and
the Sendero Group and the Seeing Eye are working on one to soon come on the
market.

I need to buy an accessible  GPS for myself.  In my research, I've pretty
much narrowed it down to the following two units:  The new Kapten Mobile GPS
and the Sendero Adventure GPS.

I'd like input from anyone; any recommendations or warnings on either of
these, or suggestions for anything that might be better than either of them.
