i love my gps and wouldn't be without it.
my only gripe is that sighted friends who have, for example, the
tomtom gps, can put in the full postcode as a destination and
create a route to that destination. you can't currently put in
the full postcode with the sendero gps. i've been told by
sendero that it's to do with, and because, of the maps from
whoever supplies them
these maps with full postcodes are obviously now widely available
and i wish there was a way of importing these maps in to the gps
system, or, alternativly, that sendero would supply these
superior maps with the gps.
think what a difference it would make. to me, this is a far more
important matter than worrying about what word to use instead of
waas in the uk.
nevertheless, when i go somewhere i think i may want to revisit,
i put it in as a poi and hey presto, i can create a route from
anywhere and make my own way there again. fantastic. but it
would be even better if you could put in the full postcode as a
destination and create a route to the location.
can i ask you again, sendero, is it on your agenda to tackle this
important issue.
regards, rs.

I have the GPS with an mPower. I love it, though sometimes it
has
trouble with routes in my area. I was in the southern part of my
state a few days ago, though, and it performed flawlessly all
weekend. Having the mPower and a bluetooth receiver is nice
too--no matter where you put the receiver in a car (on the
dashboard for maximum satellites, for example) the mPower will
have a fine connection. No cables to worry about, and the
battery
is great. I really have no complaints about the BN GPS that I
would not have about GPS in general--unsolvable things like loss
of signal around very tall buildings or other sky-blocking
structures and so on. If you want more detailed information, let
me know at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can send you a copy of the GPS
manual for a BNBT if you want.
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi list,
I was wondering if anyone has brailleNote GPS. If so, how does
it
work and what's your opinion of it?
If this is too off-topic, please contact me off-list. My email
is

Thanks,
