Hi Greg, THanks for the response and well let me ask you this. Obviously you cant' take any of these navigation programs without a little grain of salt. My wife has a Garman (forget how it's spelled) and it does actually do a really great job, but admittedly it does take one on a rather interesting route and I'm not entirely sure how the logic works. I don't know if you have ever used something like such a device or one of the "blind" products like the Treker etc. As long as I could accurately get street names, and I could get within 30 feet of my destination, it would be well worth the money. If it did some of the same things programs like Geo Mobile from Code Factory does, then well hey it would be more than well worth the money. Thank you for confirming it's accessibility and at least that will help me make a decision. On Oct 26, 2009, at 8:07 PM, Greg Kearney wrote:
