[Electronics-talk] Stand Alone GPS Units

[Ashley Bramlett]

I do not think any mainstream gps device is accessible there is still the 
trekker, I think but that is made for a blind user.

Hello,

I am wondering if there are any stand alone GPS units that are usable by a 
blind person? I am referring to commercial off the shelf units, not devices 
made specifically for the blind.

I have read that the Garmin Nuvi and Tom Tom Go units can be used via voice 
commands. Does anyone have any experience with these units and know whether 
they are actually usable? (or are there initial steps that must be taken 
that are not accessible, before a voice command can be given)

Also a different but related question...  can an iPod Touch use GPS if one 
purchases a GPS receiver to pair with it?

Thanks,
Sarah
