Hi Leon,
That's interesting! You usually do research before you order the
product. Hopefully, you can change the request if you change your mind
after doing your research. I got the Trekker because of its compact
size. It does not appear to be as feature rich as the Braillenote GPS
in terms of the information you can obtain, but it certainly provides
enough information to assist as an orientation aide. it shouldn't
interfere with the use of a guide dog, in fact, both Leader Dogs and the
Seeing Eye offer an opportunity to get some brief training in using the
Trekker with your guide dog. In fact, the Seeing Eye offers sessions
for the use of all 3 GPS solutions.

Hi Folks,
I have requested the Trekker form the Veterans Administration and
will probably get it.
Please tell me if you will, the different Talking GPS systems and
the pros and cons of each.
I am aware of how the GPS for the sighted works. How does the GPS
for the blind work.
I use a Dog Guide, (Female Doberman Pinscher) or a Laser Cane at all
times. Will the talking GPS irritate or interfere with my using my dog?
These questions probably sound dumb to you but I these questions are
serious to me.
