Just join and current using samsung SGS. Trying out the Papago at the moment using stock maps.
At the same time downloading the new maps from here.
If you guys need a direct download for the maps, I can provide needed bandwidth and space. Cause its taking me forever to download the files.
PM or email me.

Hi Ceslvie1 :) A belated welcome as I just noticed yr membership here goes way back to last year despite just four posts, don't worry, you'll recognise yr way about.

Perhaps there is another approach to make it easier & fun above all where you might get to recognise & familiarise your way around sooner than you'd expect.

That makes the use of the GPS esp. in your situation ever more interesting with a given dimension thru the "lens" and the possibilities derived from such an application with even more and added extensions to your mobility.

What you can soon discover to your advantage are two things basically. Maybe just one unit would do but I would suggest two separate units instead. I do hope you like or is about to, increase or build up another interest with photography.

Every snap you take and save in a GPS that accepts, stores and immediately guide you back to the very spot the GPS unit is capable of, will add that extra dimension for your confidence in moving about without further fears or worries.

Think about it.... even a handy, very easy & discrete simple camera can change your prospects despite your discomfort with dyslexia, try getting a>>> Lumix or an Altek and I suggest you consider this as well>>> Nuvi unit or any equally matched unit that you may also prefer should you look up highly on the given FREE map services you have there in your region. :thumbsup:

Once you like the idea of adding those pictures of places where you've been, saved to the unit's gallery or POI, you'll get to recognise swiftly, the favorite locations and hopefully overcome the dyslexia with this alternative & approach. :thumbsup:
