[Electronics-talk] Is there a talking or Braille odometer suitablefor a bicycle

[Baracco, Andrew W]

The GPS navigation apps for the iPhone such as Navigon and Tom Tom have
a bicycle mode, and are accessible with speech.

Also, the Kapten GPS is a small self contained unit that was actually
developed in Europe for bicycle riders.  It costs about $300, and
features both speech input capability as well as speech output.

Hi there,

My husband and I do a lot of tandem riding. he is sighted. The odometer
on our bike needs to be replaced. It is "sight dependent" and I am
wondering if there is an accessible model.

I am wondering if perhaps even an application for ipod touch/iphone that
could be recommended.

I am in Canada.

Thank-you for any suggestions.
Sharon
