Ok, Il moderatore, i know this is off-topic somewhat but i as they say in online business promoting mails, have to get it out of my chest before i explode! I think it's a bit unfair to compare standard gps solutions with those made strictly for blind folks and if Navigon as a standard gps solution makes a very good job of helping us around the place, it's great! What really would've been great would be if someone could do a podcast of a navigon session so that one may here it in action, rather like people have done with Wayfinder access and Mobile geo. /Krister
