[Blindtlk] Trekker Breeze and Trekker Breeze+ from HumanWare

[Aleeha Dudley]

I have used the Breeze, but not the plus. I’m not so sure that the plus is worth the buy: I don’t think they did a whole lot to it, and the breeze will have a new firmware out soon that will give it some of the features of the plus. I do not want to sway you one way or the other, because it is your decision, but I have a Breeze that I don’t use anymore that I would be willing to sell you for less than half the cost of a new plus.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

If so, may I ask whether you felt it was worth obtaining? I am guessing that I am going to have to purchase it out-of-pocket since I am pretty sure my VR councilor is not going to finance it if I do choose to get one. Any info on how easy, useful, accurate... you have found it to be and if you had to buy it out of pocket, whether it would be worth the almost $800 would be wonderfully appreciated!
