And, you certainly can have a Bluetooth Braille display linked to that iPhone
that may cost as much as $5,000 cheaper than an Apex.
Even if you chose a 40 column display you could do that for over $3,000 cheaper
than a BrailleNote Apex even before adding the cost of the GPS for the Apex.

Good point yes you can have the phone in a top pocket. the only thing with the
iphone is that the inbuilt gps is not as sensative as the external gps devices.
