Hi Rusty, The problem with off the shelf GPS solutions is that they were developed for drivers. You can use TELLME or MAPQUEST to get driving directions, but a blind traveler needs more info than that. He or she can't read street signs, see arrows painted on the street, etc. The blind oriented systems give you a lot more detail than the off the shelf systems. Again, whether or not they are worth the money is a personal decision. Andy
