[Reader-users] (no subject)

Dear Denise,

I would very much like to talk with you privately so would you please send
me your telephone number and personal e-mail address? The information you
sent me is very helpful and I really appreciate your taking the time to
answer some of my questions. 

Could you provide me with the address for the Way Finder listserv?

Thanks so much,

Kathy Davis

I have WF on my n82 with the Reader and Talks. It all functions fine
together. I have a small bluetooth GPS receiver the Holux m1000 which I used
with my previous phone before I got the n82. But now I just use the built-in
GPS on the phone. There is another listserv for WF users and on there some
like using the n82's GPS while others have a bluetooth external. Mostly
folks use an external because it uses less battery. I will say that it does
drain the battery pretty fast using the phone's internal GPS receiver, but
It's handier so I like it. I have an extra battery I can switch to if it
gets too low. I'm going to see if Nokia has a car charger so when I'm using
the GPS in the car I can plug it in. That will help with the battery issue
when I'm not walking using it. WF is very accessible with Talks. It's not as
good a GPS system as say Trekker, but for the money it does well.

I'd also encourage you to try the Nokia Maps program that came on the n82.
The map part isn't accessible and it doesn't work in pedestrian mode, but in
a car or just to explore an area it's accessible to put an address in and
search for it. Then you can view all kinds of places near by. It's quite
facinating really to see what is around you. If there's something you want
more info on it gives the number and address and you can click on it to call
there. Give it a try.
