I'd rather go for one of the Garman products, but most of the models I'm
interested in has touch screens. Also it's not speaking in menus etc.
One of their staff at support once asked me "what does a blind person
want to do with a Garman?"

Subject: Re: talking gps?
Well, I am not really impressed so far. I borrowed this thing from a
friend who had let the battery run down, so it lost everything. I
finally
got street talk working enough to tell me where I was, but had a heck of
a
time telling how to reconnect to the gps receiver. Maybe it is
simple--I
never figured it out. I was doing some testing yesterday and the damn
thing locked up solid. I had to do a total reset. Lost all my installs

and so forth. I'm really not sure if I'll bother again for a while.
