For the most part, I would prefer a good and reliable app over having to
carry a second device which is usually extremely expensive. While I do
have, and really like, the GPS utility for the Pac Mate that is sold by
www.freedomscientific.com
called "street talk", the major drawbacks are the cost and the fact that
maps, although available from the Sendero Group, cannot be updated for the
Street Talk utility due to the Pac Mate firmware restrictions. The maps
have not been updated since 2008. To me, this is not acceptable,
considering the approximate $1,600 cost. I feel very short changed.

Subject: Re: trekker vs. apps?
Cost is one obvious advantage in favor of apps. Also, how often is the
breeze updated? I don't know the answer to that question. But the product
has been out for quite a while. And I have no idea if humanware has been
good and faithful at keeping up the map data. I would be concerned about
that before making a purchase.

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.
