Hi Virgie, The PK is one of the Braillenote products. Trekker is an entirely different product, even though they are both sold by Humanware. The PK uses the Sendero GPS product. I believe that purchasing the PK and Senero GPS will cost a lot more than purchasing the Trekker, even with the Maestro software.

It is a querty fold up keyboard and it folds small enough to put in a shirt pocket so I am told. I thought that the pk and Trekker were separate purchases. Am I mistaken? Please enlighten me because I need to make an informed decision here. Thanks and have a great day!
