Hi, That's why I would have suggested access to you. I'll give you a breakdown in costs.
My partner, bought me a nokia 82, for £300, they are cheaper than that now, talks, for £150, access for £259 and the gps unit that I now have for £45. now if you already have talks and a cellphone to run it on, then all you need is to spend £259 for the programme and how ever much you want to spend on a gps unit. So yes it's way way cheaper than the alternatives out there. I completely agree withy you that the price for a gps that would work for us is rather expensive and no I wouldn't justify that cost. Oh before you wonder why I got an n82, it wasn't because that's the only phone it worked with, it was because of keyboard preference. It's nicely spaced out. The buttons. hth -----Original Message----- From: Robert Riddle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 04 February 2009 01:46 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: gps There's the question of exactly when could a blind person make use of a GPS application which runs on a laptop? I would use it while riding around in a car; and so riding in taxis or buses might be a use, other than that, you'd have to wear a backpack with the laptop (with an earphone presumably), and you still have the problem of how to control the program. Maybe voice recognition and a headset is the answer there, but there are so many good GPS options that are small, it's hard to think of a reason why this would be useful. The standalone gps units all cost a fortune though. I already have a laptop and I don't think 900 or 1200 dollars for a gps solution is really worth it, so just looking for some other options.
