TREKKER BREEZE, THE ALL-IN-ONE TALKING GPS NOW SHIPPING IN 5 LANGUAGES
(a web version with photo is available at:

ing_in_5_languages)
Longueuil, November 12, 2008 - HumanWare is now shipping Trekker Breeze, a
state-of-the-art talking GPS specially designed for the needs of visually
impaired users. This simple orientation tool is designed for use when
traveling in familiar surroundings or pre-defined routes. The product will
also be appealing to people not comfortable with computers and screen
readers. The new model is an addition to our popular Trekker and BrailleNote
GPS systems, which have thousands of users worldwide. With this innovation,
HumanWare will make GPS technology even more accessible to a greater number
of people.
The Trekker Breeze is available for purchase at an affordable price of
$895
USD. The product is available in English, French, Dutch, Swedish and
Norwegian. Like other GPS products from HumanWare, the Trekker Breeze
provides talking GPS directions that help users know where they are, where
they are going and what is around them.
Trekker Breeze enhances autonomy and confidence in traveling and makes
learning new routes easier. As walking by, users receive audible
information, such as street names, intersections and reference landmarks. In
case they are lost, they can retrace their steps. Users can also record
routes, and activate them for future use. They can also reach favorite
destinations with turn-by-turn instructions. The product provides rich
navigational information adapted to pedestrian or in-vehicle travel. It
makes it easier to travel alone, and allows people to discover and enjoy
their surroundings.
"GPS technology brings great benefits to visually impaired travelers.
With
this new addition to our product line, Humanware now offers GPS benefits to
a larger number of the visually impaired population," says Lucia Gomez,
Product Manager. "Easy and intuitive, Trekker Breeze offers basic
orientation functions in an all-in-one hand size device. It is also the most
affordable GPS tool specially designed for the needs of users who are
blind."
HumanWare offers the most complete line of GPS tools for visually impaired
people. The line includes the popular BrailleNote GPS and Trekker.
BrailleNote GPS is a full-featured GPS tool that integrates seamlessly with
KeySoft. It is available with any of the BrailleNote family of products.
BrailleNote GPS benefits from the highly efficient and easy-to-learn KeySoft
interface. Sleek and discreet, Trekker is a powerful GPS solution running on
a mainstream palm-size PDA. Trekker is highly appealing to professionals and
students already familiar with computers and screen readers.
"Trekker Breeze will make the potential of GPS technology even more
accessible to the blind," says Lucia Gomez.
Since its launch in July, the product is raising deep interest amongst
leading orientation and mobility organizations.
Humanware has partnered with Leader Dogs for the Blind, the first dog guide
school in the United States to permanently integrate a talking GPS
navigational tool into dog guide classes for people who are blind and
visually impaired. "Combining the renowned expertise of Leader Dogs for the
Blind and the Trekker Breeze will significantly enhance the travelling
experience of the students. This program is a new chapter of this success
story." - Gilles Pepin, CEO of HumanWare.
The BrailleNote GPS and Trekker are currently available from HumanWare.
