Hello List! Recently, my wife purchased a TomTom GPS System from Wallmart in thinking I could somehow use it with my notebook computer. I have aToshiba notebook and HP Desktop, both running Vista; I have a home version of the TomTom GPS software. I don't expect to carry the device around with me and use it on the fly, but is there anyway I can access the program via the PC. The unit only has one button and a touch screen. Once you get your data in, you can have directions and stuff spoken to you in great voices. They say the software is strictly written in C/C++ and they even have a kit for customization of the Navigator software. I was just wondering how this product can be adapted to the blind for directions and using the various features of the unit (maps and location lookups, etc.). I know Trekker and other spcially adapted units are more adaptable to the blind, but their prices are way beyond my reach at this time. The TomTom cost $148.00 total and you get it all at once.
Does anyone know of any special software that could run the TomTom and make it accessible via a PC keyboard. The unit has bluetooth technology available. What about a brialle keyboard or Stowaway keyboard being used with it to access the minues and stuff. right now, it is strictly touch screen accessible. You can, however, set up the unit and set some preferences through their home versin of the software, but as far as I can see, no blind friendly access is available. My wife has so much fun just finding stuff and having directions readand so forth and so on. I just want to be able to use the unit via my notebook or desktop and use the maps etc. James Robinson ios alatenr 1 Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
