Hi Virgie,
If you already have a Braillenote, and carry it around often, the
Braillenote solution may be for you, as you will already have some of
the required equipment. The Trekker is a different system entirely,
with different hardware and software. The Trekker is a more compact
unit because it runs on a small PDA. The PDA has been modified with an
adaptive keypad and navigation bar. I believe that both handle basic
navigation tasks equally well, but the Sendero software that runs on the
BN can give you more information about your surroundings. Both systems
have a user community, and listservs. The Trekker can be bundled with a
software package called Maestro, which gives the PDA some additional
functionality, such as planner, address list, etc. Interestingly
enough, the Trekker, hardware and all, sells for about the same as the
Sendero package, which, of course, assumes that you already have a BN.
