Well, still waiting for a reply from PDI, I wonder how much more it will cost to upgrade to the point that it should be at now as I understand it? Surely, an upgrade to bring maps up-to-date should be a free, downloadable upgrade? I know this is not on topic, but I would love to see a comparative, objective test done between GPS2 and the Trekker. Yes, I know all the advantages of the BrailleNote, but what's the point of a system if it's as poor as it appears to be? No more comments from me I promise, until Pulsedata get back to me and I either accept the system as it is or cancel my order.
