[nabs-l] GPS Reviews

[Sarah Jevnikar]

I'm looking into the market myself and hope to try these things out a bit
soon. I'll let you know my thoughts once I've done this, if that will be of
assistance.

I've played with the Trekker (not the Breeze...the big one) and have  
been very impressed. Because it is designed for the blind, the Trekker  
gives directions that don't assume you can see your destination...or  
what you are passing. It's expensive, but well worth the funds.

P.S. Have you visited www.Braille.org yet? Check out the first U.S.  
coin with full-size Braille on it!

This blog should provide a comprehensive comparison/review of a number
of GPS systems.  Some are included in a phone package, while others
require there own machine or come on another piece of assistive
technology.  Hope this link helps:
