hi if i have paid for the upgraded maps for the braille note then is the gps on the braille sense is upgraded and can use the upgraded maps will i have to pay again for the same map upgrade for the braille sense. at the moment my pk is using the updated maps where the braille sense is using the older maps. i have been away for a while and may have missed an upgrade for the braille sense gps. i do understand though here in the uk we are using different sofftware just like the booksense but we have no uk list for the braille sense products. if there is an upgrade we do not here of it the only thing here is to do an online upgrade and if it is there then you get it thank god we have a uk booksense list as it keeps uk customers in touch with what is happening. i also do understand that gwmicro cannot look after uk customers with regards to the braille sense in the uk but feel that with the braille sense plus here in the uk it is difficult for us with the two verssions of the sofftware on the braille sense. it would be far better to have it like the braille note and just have one sofftware version. cheers.
