PAC Mate users can enjoy new confidence and have fun while traveling near and far with the StreetTalk accessible GPS (Global Positioning System) solution. Paired with a GPS receiver, StreetTalk is a route-savvy travel companion and real-time exploration guide. Take it for a ride, vacation, business trip, or local jaunt, and keep oriented to your location. Discover new places to explore. Design a custom trip on the go. Even route an entire trip with interesting stops before departing. Based on mainstream GPS technology for Pocket PCs, StreetTalk makes the award-winning Destinator™ application and its maps accessible.
StreetTalk can be used with a choice of many popular Bluetooth® GPS receivers. With Bluetooth, the receiver can be placed up to 30 feet from the user – on a window sill, the rear deck of a car, or even on a guide dog harness, so you aren't tethered to a lot of cables or special straps.
Second, the maps that come on the Street Talk CDs cover the USA, Canada, and Western Europe and a user can select which areas to install on the PAC Mate using ActiveSync. Street Talk proprietary compression technology allows maps of several states to be carried on a standard CompactFlash card. Street Talk packages range from $299 for a CompactFlash GPS receiver and maps of the USA and Canada to $699 for the USA, Canada, and Western Europe with a GPS receiver equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Freedom Scientific is offering StreetTalk at a special introductory price of $79.95 through December 24, 2004. Users can add a complete GPS solution to their PAC Mate for as little as $378.95.
Users can get directions to any of the points of interest in the map database, such as hotels, restaurants, ATMs, hospitals, etc. The application also integrates with Contacts on the PAC Mate so it can quickly navigate to any location in the user's address book. Rhe Street Talk technology has won "Best GPS Navigation System" the last two years running from EUROPE POCKET PC AWARDS.
"We are excited to be working with Freedom Scientific to combine their industry leading technology and support with our state-of-the-art map processing and navigation technology. The result is a great boon to blind users everywhere," said Alexei Gavriline, Vice President of Business Development, Homeland Security Technology Corporation.
