Richard,

The cheapest solution for the blind is the Trekker.  YOu can get it cheaper than 
the pacmate or VoiceNote even though the GPS navigation dosts additional for 
those devices.

Hi everyone;
I have been away from the computer and missed most of the blind friendly gps
info.  Am I correct that after you spend a fortune for the gps you then need
some type of p d a to read the output?  I believe it can be bundled with
packmate but it just isn't worth the price.  I liked the idea of using a
cell phone with speech.  Sounds like a much more practical approach.  I was
really taken back when a friend mentioned that nonfriendly units with just a
display screen are very inexpensive.
Thought most blind people were supposed to be unemployed and poverty
strickened?
