Hi Graham I'm not sure, but I think John is using the Braille Note GpS software, which is something different entirely. I am the one who's plunging into getting wayfinder. I think it's 99 euros for a twelve-month subscription that covers Western Europe, plus whatever the connection for the GPRS data costs, from, unsurprisingly enough, www.wayfinder.com. You can download a demo of the software from there if you already have the kit. Steve Nutt will probably know more than I do about all of this, at least I'm hoping he does or we're all in big trouble :).
