Hi, My trusty Trekker that has seen me through over 10 years of use has finally 
died and I am looking for a replacement. Whatever I go for will need to have an 
off road mode, for when I am in parks. Obviously it will need the usual things 
including, information on upcoming intersection in either clock face 
description or left and right, pedestrian and motorised route creation, 
creation of POI, a well maintained database of commercial POIs and the ability 
to virtually explore an area. It would also be good if it were possible to use 
the device with one hand.

 I am currently looking at the Breeze and Cendero on a Braille Note type 
device. The Breeze doesn't have a virtual mode and you can't create routes from 
addresses or POIs as a start, but it does do everything else. Cendero obviously 
does the lot, but is considerably more expensive, plus I'm not sure if I'll be 
able to operate it with one hand whilst walking. I'm going to get demos of both.

 I'm not looking at an IPhone app because GPS and my walking app use up too 
much battery together. Also, I don't think there's an app for the IPhone that 
includes off road navigation.

 Does anyone have any other suggestions of GPS devices I should consider, or 
comments on the Breeze or Cendero on either Braille |Note, Voice Note or 
Braille Sense? The last device doesn't appear to have been updated for a couple 
of years, as far as GPS is concerned.
 Cheers
Yusuf
