Maestro's PocketPC for the blind adds GPS
HumanWare is a new company whose first product is a GPS orientation tool for the blind. They're combining the Maestro, the first off-the-shelf accessible PocketPC, with Trekker, a standalone GPS solution for the blind. Now available in one integrated device, the new Trekker/Maestro package (no name yet? Their website doesn't appear to be actually launched.) aims to provide a complete solution for blind users. Current users of both Trekker and Maestro will be offered upgrade paths for the new integrated solution, which looks to be available in May of this year.

So, when they are DRIVING they know where they are at and how to get where they're going...

Talk about a narrow view for the use of GPS.
How about if a blind person travels to a new city for a vacation? This would enable them to move about a strange city without relying on someone else for assistance.

Why do the buttons have different colors?
