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.
