Price wise they are. If you can find a gps solution that gives you the same as what access does for the same price I'll give it a look. The fact is that now access has been discontinued on price alone the blind community has been put at a serious disadvantage. So again we're forced to endure the ripoff prices of the competition.
I'm good with access for at least another 2 years or so because whilst they have discontinued the product and have stopped any additional sales bar any licences remaining, they are keeping currant access users active until the technology available can no longer support the programme. So this isn't going to affect me yet or anybody else who currently owns an access licence. We will still have our product and because vodafone need the servers for their own uses we will get the map updates as well. But anybody else who wants to buy a gps solution is looking at a grand at least unless they are prepared to help do something about it. A facebook group has been created by myself and so far it has 59 members. The aim of the group is to come up with an action plan to try and deal with this problem. Mainly putting a case to vodafone with regards to the problms caused. The fb group address is at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=422661100607 so come and join it. -----Original Message----- From: Chris G [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 24 January 2010 11:30 To: Darren Harris Cc: 'Angela Wales'; [email protected] Subject: Re: accessible gps software Interesting, I didn't think the Voice Sense or Mobile Geo were bulky.
