I haven't heard of Captain Mobility before. will have to look it up.

Trekker Breeze is strictly auditory but can't hook up to a Packmate as
you know. IT does give you which streets are in what direction and
more details if you set a route, and will redirect you if you go
off-route. IT's rather accurate and landmarks are excellent as far a
location goes while passing a particular place.

Unfortunately, it seems that everyone has the standard $700 or so when
it comes to the latest GPS. I had to save a llong time to get mine. Do
you have a Lion's Club where you can inquire about a grant? If you
give a good cause to why you need the device, they most often would be
happy to assist in the funds to get it for you. IT may take some
time--sometimes months before you hear back from them--but I have been
successful in obtaining a few adaptive pieces of tech from them. I
understand about thethe finantial cost. Very high for such rather
essential equipment for most of us.

Actually I was looking for a stand-alone gps that is accessible. As an
example, a Garmin. I'm not necessarily lookng for a Garmin, more or less

a
gps where I don't have an extra unit, such as a Braille Note(which I
don't
have), or a PacMate(which I do have). I know Freedom Scientific has the
Street Talk, and I have seen the Trecker Breeze. Not only am I looking
for
a a one unit gps, but something that is more auditory. I read Braille,
but
do more auditorily. I'm loking in to the Captain Mobility gps. Has
anyone
ever heard about that or know anyone who has had one of those? It seems
that no matter what I do, for an accessible gps, I'm going to spend
upwards
of $600. I can't afford that just now. I just started a part-time job
and
it's not even enough to pay the bills. I have other sources which help
in
that manner.



I had a question from a gentlemen when I was enquiring about the usb tv
tuners. The gentlemen said he had the Hauppauge usb tv tuenr. I am
curious
as to what model you have. All of your feedback has been helpful thus
far.
Thanks.
