Hi Mike. I tried to get a phone through Boost like my wife and kids have
because they have no plans and they have unlimited talk, and data plan for
minimal money. They told me that they didn't support Jellybean 4.1 like you
mentioned in your presentation at the ATI meeting. I'd like to take
advantage of the Android phone and all of it's functions but I don't want to
pay a huge amount. That is why I was looking for a talking GPS that you can
enter an address in and navigate to that place. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I would not get a device like the trekor breeze. It's silly to pay that
much money for a product that does one thing, you can get this
functionality in a cell phone for much cheaper and the device does much
more.

Hi Steve,
there are some GPs devices for the blind on the market. There is the
Trekker Breze, which I have heard is a decent GPS. It is sold by
Humanware for approximately $900. I have the Trekker p\Pro, which
unfortunately not being made any longer, but is very accurate and easy to
use. I also think there is a GPS that is made by Code Factory called Geo
Mobile that installs on a cell phone. to check out these devices you can
go to either:
http://www.codefactory.com
or
http://www.humanware.com
I hope this helps.

I don't need a phone with all the bells and whisels, all I am looking for
is a GPS that talks through the menues, that I can put an address in and
it will tell me how to get there. I've been listening to the gps's tell
drivers where to go for years but is there one that a blind guy can
manipulate? Any help would be appriciated.
