Hello Claire and list.
I might ask Humanware about this new Trek but quite honestly I doubt if they will tell me anything.? They seem to be shy of releasing any publicity ahead of any official press release.
My contact with Humanware UK will be as much about my problems with my Trek and it not charging because of the faulty USB socket which is a well known problem with the Trek.? We can only hope they will have learned something regarding this for the next generation Trek.
Ray.

?Hi Ray,
Happy new year.
Apologies, I don't think the content you intended to paste came across unless it was just the brief reference to Galileo.
Cheers,

Just read an interesting bunch of posts on Access-UK list telling us a replacement for the Trek is on its way although I cannot find a source of news about this from Humanware or anyone else.
This coming at a time when i too am now having problems with USB power connectivity and charging of the battery in my Trek. Given it cost typically more than ?200 to get this repaired I am not best pleased and I know I am by no means alone having this problem. At least I can charge the battery in an old VR Stream I have, but its a nuisance.
I am pasting what little has emerged about the new Trek but claims of it being able to access the European Galileo satilite navigation system are not likely to be true, that is unless HW can negotiate with the EU itself on this - (don't hold your Breath!
Boris and the forever talk it up propaganda nonsense that surrounds Brexit would have us believe their will be a British competitor to Galileo but I for one do not believe this will fly, and if it does it is unlikely Humanware or anyone else will be using it.
So, here's one digruntled Trek user who can hardly afford to get his Trek repaired at the moment, but is looking warily at more news of the new Trek. If anyone can tell us more on that then please post something here.
Happy New \Year everyone, (and looking forward to my first Covid jab later today!.
Ray.
