I realize that most or all of you probably also get these HumanWare
updates; but, in case any of you do not, here's the latest. Do any of
you guys use these GPS devices? Maybe we could talk about them at one
of our Friday night phone chats?

HumanWare Launches the Trekker Breeze+
More Accurate for More Informed Travel
HumanWare is excited to announce a new travel tool to add to the
navigation toolbox.The Trekker Breeze+ is the next generation of
HumanWare’s popular Trekker Breeze talking GPS. Building upon the
success of the original Breeze and based on the feedback received from
visually impaired travelers, the new improved Breeze+ is the most
accurate, intuitive, and effective navigation aid designed for travelers
who are visually impaired.

Developing strong orientation and mobility skills is essential for
successful travel for individuals with a visual impairment.Effective
skills with a white cane or dog guide enable a traveler who is visually
impaired to successfully and safely navigate from work to home, home to
school, or among different countries around the world.
“ The integration of GPS into our guide dog training curriculum would
not have been possible without the relationship we have built with
HumanWare. We are excitedabout the new Breeze Plus because it delivers
the features and upgrades our clients and instructors have been
requesting. HumanWare proves once again it listens to the needs of our
clients.
The changes are another example of the commitment of both Leader Dogs for
the Blindand HumanWare to provide meaningful products and services. We
look forward to our continued collaborative relationship and the chance
to improve travel of all who ask.”
Says Rod Haneline, VP and Chief Programs & Services Officer at Leader
Dogs for the Blind.
Based on popular user feedback, the Breeze+ uses the same effective
design as the original Trekker Breeze while on the go.With well
pronounced tactile buttons, all device functions can be operated using
one hand, leaving the other hand free for your white cane or dog guide.
It’s what’s inside that makes all the difference
The Breeze+ uses the latest in GPS technology to provide you with the
fastest, most accurate travel information when and where you need it.So
what’s different about the Breeze+ compared to the original Trekker
Breeze?
Significantly improved GPS acquisition time
When frequently using this newly updated GPS technology, you
can expect to have a GPS connection in as little as 10 seconds
after the device boots.
Greatly improved performance in urban canyon environments!
The urban canyon environment often found in large cities has
always been less accommodating to GPS usage. With the
updated GPS technology in the Breeze+, you can expect
a consistent GPS signal, regardless of your environment.
Improved GPS accuracy
With Breeze+, you can expect accuracy of landmarks to
be significantly improved.For example, testers have
reported that their landmarks have been announced less
than 5 feet from the original location.
Higher quality GPS signal
Once Breeze+ acquires the satellite signal, you can expect
to travel with a higher quality GPS signal. This means a more
accurate detection of your location.
Travel with confidence with Breeze+
Here are just a few of the features existing Breeze users love:
Traveling to a specific address or business?
Breeze+ provides you specific walking or driving instructions as you
travel.
Wondering where you are?
Use the “Where Am I Button”. This button tells you your current
cardinal direction, next intersection, nearest address and current
street.
Curious about what you just passed?
The What’s Around feature lets you know what interesting points of
interest are around you.
Worried about how you will get back home?
Simply drop a landmark in front of your house and Breeze+ will walk you
back to that exact spot whenever you want.
Nervous about navigating in open areas such as a campus or
park?
Breeze+’s open area mode allows you to use landmarked locations to get
from point A to B confidently.
The Trekker Breeze+ is available now from HumanWare and its partners with
a suggested retail price of $799. If you are currently using the original
Trekker Breeze, HumanWare has developed the Breeze+ upgrade program. For
less than one third of the cost of a new Breeze+, HumanWare can upgrade
your Trekker Breeze with this updated GPS technology.
