[Electronics-talk] Comparing GPS's

[Brett Boyer]

Hi. The Trekker Breeze is great for what it does. But like anything it has
its limitations. For one the database as far as I know on the Trekker is
very minimal and doesn't have many point of interest compared to regular gps
receivers or programs. And as far as I know most gps programs or stand-alone
units will tell you street names if you set it up in the preferences.
However the trekker is very simple to use and doesn't have a lot of bells
and whistles. So it does have its advantages as well.

My personal choice is the Trekker Breeze. It gives names of streets before
you cross them. Most gps made for the blind do not do this & I feel it is
one of the easiest  to use.
The price is now down to $500 in the US.

Hi everyone,

 

                I hope this isn't off-topic for this list; if so, please
accept my humble apologies in advance.

I know some of you have had a chance to use the various iPhone apps and
self-contained units; I'd be curious to know your opinions on the best one
or ones and why?

 

Darla Making peace with my iPhone
