Hello. SenseNav has the same limitations for the most part that the
Sendero GPS products, and other gps products have. Please take this into
account when using gps in general as it will never replace the human
intelligence one has of an area. For example, SenseNav maps out a
certain way from my home to my work, but because I know the layout of
the city better than the software, I can go my own way which might be
longer distance, but shorter in time since I know the traffic patterns.
The Garmin gps is no different, neither is the Sendero GPS on the
Braillenote.
Regarding upgrades and the cost, Sendero and Sensenav are not the only
ones to charge for map upgrades. I just recently upgraded my Garmin maps
and had to pay to get new ones. So this is not something specific for
blind users.
Many thanks.

Hi,
I obtained SenseNav just 3 4 days ago, I am an italian user.
the available map for italian are dated 2008.
I hope upgrading will be free, because I received the software 4 days ago!
Anyway I must say that I am not satisfied anough from the product.
SenseNav is basically great, it gaves lots of information, but the
routes created are often strange, there are fastest routes that SenseNav
doesn't take care, you can not say, for example, don't include motorway,
so in a few words, some basic option available in common gps software
are not included in SenseNav.
It's a pitty... especially considering the price of the product!
But perhaps, I am not able to use it correctly...
Bye.

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.
