[Electronics-talk] GPS Similar to Origional Trekker?

[Roger Behm AIS]

Hi Sarah,

The Trekker Breeze does allow you to virtually walk or drive a route 
before you travel it.

I just did it today from my home to the massage place I went, over 2 
miles and it would ttravel me there with listing streets and turns 
with names of streets and it is only $600 with all the maps of U.S. 
free and all updates are free to.

Regards,
roger
