[nagdu] Leader's Kapten Plus Event

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Awesome!  I'm looking forward to hearing more about it.  Usable, functional
*and* affordable!  Doesn't get better than that!  /grin/

How did you like the accelerated mobility program?

I went to the accelarated mobility program at Leader this early spring 
and was given the Kapten.  I love it.  I like to put it in free 
navigation mode and find out all the streets I cross that I never knew 
the names of before.  They recommend you update it via the internet and 
the Kapten's website, but I have never done that.  I suppose if I was 
going somewhere new I would try to figure that out.  There is also an 
automobile mode which may be nice for bus travel.

it sports some improvements over the original Kapten, like a location
function, a "free navigation" mode that will tell you about things you're
walking past, and other interesting things. Only $295, a lot more affordable
than other solutions like Trekker or Mobile Geo. I ordered one and will give
a full report when I get it.
