Hi all.
How much does it cost to purchase GPS system for BN?
And how efficient it is?
Thanks

Hi KD,

This question is for anyone who has BN GPS. Is it possible to create
your own maps? for example, could I somehow put a map of my college
campus into the system?
No, you can't create and install your own map. However, you can create
your
own points of interest (POIs), which you can then use to help you navigate
across campus. For example, you could record a point of interest at each
building where you regularly attend classes, at the student union
building, the bookstore, the library,
and other locations around the campus that interest you. If those prove
useful to you, you could then send those POIs to Sendero Group, who can
then incorporate those into the collective user POI file that gets updated
on a regular basis. That way, anybody else who happens to attend your
college can later benefit from them. As I write this, it occurs to me
that on some campuses, there may be buildings that you can't accessed by
streets that you'd find in the map data, so someone would have to use the
"getting warmer" method to find them, as typical route creation procedures
involving the map data won't work.
