Hello. I will pass along your suggestions, however keep in mind that the
GPS software and maps, while they run on the Sense notetakers, are a
Sendero and GW product. So you are correct, if there is a charge for
newer maps, a person would be able to have a choice to stick with
current SenseNav while still upgrading the firmware of the Sense
notetaker. Also keep in mind that even though there have been no charges
for firmware updates to the Sense notetakers, this is not a guarantee.
The Braillenote family of notetakers has their own software, but the GPS
from Sendero is also separate and customers from Sendero also have to
pay for newer map upgrades even if they don't pay for newer software
firmeware builds for the Braillenote itself.
I hope this helps, or at least, that it makes sense.
Many thanks.

Hi Raul and List,
You would think that upgrading to new maps for the Sense Nav. would be free
after paying the one time fee for the software. You'd think with it being a
part of the Braille Sense that upgrading to the next version of maps would be
free, because we don't have to pay to upgrade the Braille Sense to the most
current firm ware yet. That's one of the reasons I believe that a lot of
people choose to purchase the Braille Sense over other note takers. Plus, they
have to pay for expensive SMA's if customers are Jaws users like myself, and
have to pay other yearly fees for Bookshare, and other services. So I really
hope that Sendaro and GW Micro won't make us pay a fee in order to upgrade the
maps for the Sense Nav. Granted, we as consumers have no control over this, so
if they do decide to charge us a fee, either we'll have to be forced to pay it,
not upgrade, or not use the product. Just some thoughts I have on this topic.

While you can go to www.mysendero.com to get the maps, you cannot get
updated maps for SenseNav since it's still using 2007 maps. We are
testing a new version which will have many new features, enhancements,
and bug fixes, including 2009 maps. However we don't have further
details on when it will be available or the cost to upgrade.
Many thanks.
