I think that the map program for the PC that Sendero puts out is very good
for planning a route before leaving home or seeing what's around you in the
way of points of interest.
I always thought that the way you have to enter addresses into a Trekker
Breeze is clunky. I don't like the method of using the numbers on a
telephone-like keypad to represent letters; 2 being A, B and C, 3 being D,
E, F, and so on. This is how data is entered into credit card terminals
when programming them, which I did for 9 years for Discovercard, so I know
how to do it, but I still find it cumbersome and bothersome.

If you mean you virtually walked around then Sendero is currently offering
their PC Map product for $49 and it allows you to do the same thing.
I used to have a Trekker Maestro with the HP iPaq PDA (late 2007 and 2008)
and always hated having to put on that big belt/strap thing with the PDA on
one end, the GPS receiver and speaker etc. It was also very common that when
I was walking around somewhere the thing would crash and I had to pull out
the poky thing and press the reset button to reboot everything. Later I had
a Windows 6.1 Smartphone with MobileSpeak and MobileGeo but nothing beats
the stability of the iPhone and iOS.

no, you can't do the same thing with the Trekker Breeze. I also had one of
those Maestro Trekkers, until it died on me.

I had one of the old maestro/_Trekker combinations in a Hewlett-Packard PDA
many years ago. Although many of the GPS apps work very well on the iPhone,
I still think the Trekker was very superior to all of them. The one thing
that I really liked about the trekker, you could virtually walk a Route.
This was especially helpful when I moved and had to learn the town. I sat
in my house and just basically .walk around town learning where everything
was at. It was awesome!
I do not know if the trekker breeze has this capability, so I can't honestly
evaluate which is better.
