[nfbwatlk] Trekker

[Mary Ellen]

I have an Ipod, not an Iphone, so the Apple solutions won't work for me.  Is
there a better GPS system out there than the Trekker?

Wow that is lame for such a high priced GPS unit.  I use arainme or
something like that and an ap called aroundme and do just fine.  I don't
care what kind of GPS unit or ap or what have you if you don't have proper
mobility skills you will not benefit much getting from place to place.

Well, I've spoken to the HumanWare folks, and I guess the last time they
updated a map was two years ago.  That fits with my current experience.

I do think that if HumanWare is going to be competitive and want a product
that is going to be comparable to other GPS systems, they better get on the
ball.  Things like TomTom and Garman and others update very frequently, and
we as blind GPS users have that same want to be updated.

Jim:

That might be a question for the manufacturer.  I am about to take delivery
of one, and they claim that they update the maps fairly regularly.
