[Electronics-talk] GPS Similar to Origional Trekker?

[Baracco, Andrew W]

There is an app called Blind Square. The latest version allows for
virtual exploration. Sendero is developing an iPhone app that will have
the features of the Sendero products for the note takers. It should be
out in the near future. If you have an Android phone or tablet, APH has
an app called Nearby Explorer which has a virtualization feature.

Subject: [Electronics-talk] GPS Similar to Origional Trekker?

Hi Everyone,
I had an origional Trekker with the Dell PDA, and sadly it no longer
works properly. I loved using it to learn new places because it would
allow you to browse streets one block at a time, by pressing the
navigational keys left right up or down. This gave me a really good
picture in my mind of all of the intersections along a given street, and
where streets were in relation to each other. I know there is a Trekker
Breeze now, but that does not allow you to browse virtually like I am
describing. I have an iPhone now, but none of the GPS apps I know of
allow me to browse streets by block like the Trekker did. With the flat
screen it seems you have to drag your finger along the street to
navigate it, and it is very difficult to keep my finger on the street
using the flat screen. I am looking for a GPS option that will allow me
to explore streets from one intersection to the next, by pressing some
sort of button, or perhaps making some sort of swipe gesture, to advance
along the street. Does anyone know of such a GPS program? It can be an
iPhone app or some stand alone GPS system.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Sarah
