But at least the Braillenote is all in one piece. Using a separate
Braille display involves 3 pieces of equipment, i. e. Braille display,
cell phone, and GPS receiver, along with any other mobility equipment
you use, i. e. cane, dog, etc.

But it's still less bulky and more portible than lugging around a
BrailleNote, is it not?

When you use a braille display, the gps system definitely becomes less

Thanks. Why is it not recommended to use an external braille display
with a cell phone? I wouldn't mind having a braille display, but
don't really want to have to carry around the BrailleNote with me.
How is Windows Mobile? I hear it is much more business oriented,
slower, and less intuitive than Simbian. Thoughts? I guess this is
really a question of whether the benefits of Mobile Geo outway the
downsides of switching to a Windows Mobile phone.

Eric,
I think Kim is talking about a different application which isn't
actually GPS. With cell towers far apart in the U.S., it isn't very
useful.
Wayfinder Access may not be as good as Geo but it is certainly a
descent program and cover the basics fine. If you like your N95 and
are going to stick with it, Wayfinder Access is worth considering.
You can find details on this and all the accessible GPS programs at
http://www.AccessibleGPS.com including reviews.

Eric: - If you have a knfb reader cell phone and still want a GPS
application for the cell phone, you can install the GPS Access
application on the cell phone. No, its probably not as user
friendly or accurate as Sendero's GPS product since the GPS Access
program relys on bouncing its signal from one cell tower antenna
to the next, but it'll give you a good sense of your surrounding
location, and will display a list of POIS.

Eric,
No plans for Sendero GPS on Symbian at this time. It is a huge
undertaking.
We can hope that the KNFB Reader will find a home on a Windows
Smartphone one of these days.
