I am enjoying my first real testing with the BrailleNote PK and GPS. Looks like most of the kinks are sorted out and we just need to test thoroughly now. I am using the Bluetooth version of the Earthmate GPS receiver. It is so cool to have a wireless GPS receiver and the PK is so small compared with the 32 cell BrailleNote. I'll mention some of the differences I notice so far. It really calculates routes fast. A 500 mile route took less than 5 minutes. You can use the media player at the same time as the GPS. So, you can listen to the audio tutorial while running the GPS application or you could be listening to music. Even with Look Around mo0de and repeat intersections on and a route open, there was no sluggishness. I enjoy being able to place the Bluetooth receiver on the dash of the car while sitting in the back of the van, no issues of cable length. Bluetooth is supposed to work up to 30 feet away so that makes remote placement of the receiver convenient. I have used my Nokia 6600 cell phone running it as a Bluetooth modem to the PK so I could get on the Internet. More details as I spend time with this new unit. Pretty darn cool. Michael G.
