I love my trekker breeze but humanware hasn't supplied any new maps for it.
I've asked a couple of times for new maps but haven't heard anything from
them.  If humanware is working on a new gps project, then it would make
perfect sense as to why they haven't released a map upgrade in so long.  My
impression of trekker breeze being discontinued is mostly due to the issues
around releasing an updated map.  
Something I would really like on a future trekker breeze is to bring back a
four-way arrows so that we can once again have virtual explore feature
brought back.

They still support it, just how often maps are updated though is something
else. I did hear a roomer that they may be working on some sort of upgrade
or new project but only heard it once and have not seen anything.

Oddly, in my limited experience it so far still works best of all not
including those products that work on the braille notetakers which I have
never used.

Blind Square still does not announce upcoming intersections or not in this
town anyway and yesterday when we went over to Timmins I didn't have a
chance to really test it as I needed a known reliable solution. I expct
though it would have more current points of interest than say Trekker due to
the customer base on FourSquare.
