You can find out all you want to know about hte GPS by going towww.senderogroup.com. They're also an authorized dealer of Humanware; if oyuorder a braille note and GPS package from them it will come with it alreadyset up and ready to use. Just keep in mind for mPower users that for onething, the maps on the compact flash card are actually in \maps\maps ratherthan \maps because for some reason the directory structure is repeated inteh \maps folder (or at least, it was on mine for some strange reason) andthat the points of interest for your state need to be downloaded to thecompact flash \poi or whatever points of interest folder you're using beforethey can be used; they don't come on the card already.

When you order the GPS package, you get a receiver, an AC adaptor, a sparebattery, a charging cradle for both, a car adaptor, a CD with the software,documentation, and MP3 tutorials, a booklit of CDs that contains maps andpoints of interest for the country you're in, and a compact flash card thatmirrors the first CD wit hteh edition of a maps folder that contains themaps for the state you're ordering from pre-loaded, and a POI folder thatcomes with some country-wide POIs like talkign ATM locations and suchlike.It also comes with sundry docs in braille and print but I can't rememberjust what they are, the one thing I noted was that it came with the printretail manual for the GPS receiver, which contained some instructions in ithtat were misleading due to the fact that we were using it in a differentcontext than teh Earthmate people would have guessed. FOrtunately, there's adocument in the docs folder of the CD/compact flash card that cleared all ofthat up for me; it just took a bit of digging because i didn't know i wassupposed to be looking for it.

The price for this package is, and i always do this, either $1295 or $1395.I'm pretty sure it's $1295.----- Original Message -----From: "James Austin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Sendero makes GPS software for the BN and Earth mate is one of the
receivers supported by Sendero. The PK and M Power support the Blue
Logger which is a wireless receiver. GPS lets you make routs and know
where you are anywhere. You can virtually plan routs and travel as well
as travel in real time. You can know what stores and other things are
around you as well.
