Hi all,
My name is Andrew Head. I am from Australia and have only recently joined
this list.
I am currently completing year 12 in high school.
I am beginning to learn to independently travel and I am thinking about
purchasing either BrailleNote gps or Trekker GPS.
I already have a brailleNote MPower BT, with an 18 cell braille display, so
if I decided to buy that, it would be cheaper and also having used the test
drive version gives me an advantage. On the other hand, trekker gps is
smaller and more portable.
I am just wondering if any people who use gps with an MPower can answer the
following questions.
1. How easy is it to use the MPower while you are walking around? do you use
earphones or an external speaker or just read the braille display?
2. do you have to stop walking to enter commands?
3. is it difficult or uncomfortable having the MPower case open while using
gps?
4. If you don't carry it in it's case, how do you carry it?
5. If you are walking with GPS especially in a location where you don't
travel regularly or have travelled their for the first time and you need to
rely on the gps to get you from point A to point B, what do you do if it
rains unexpectedly?
Any information anyone can give me is greatly appreciated.
from Andrew
