Hi Joe,
No, GPS is not the only thing I am looking at between the two note takers.
You bring up a very important factor to me: the Braille displays.
I may be making a wrong assumption from your message, but gather that you
have some experience with both units.
May I ask why you feel that the Braille reading experience is better on the
Braille Sense Plus?
I thought the Apex used the same display as the BSP?
Thanks.
Crystal

Let us hope it is not the Rolls Royce of GPS, unless BMW has allowed the
model to go by the wayside. All GPS functionality is primarily led by
Sendero. One notetaker's ability is not significantly different from the
other, if at all. My recommendation is not to use GPS as your deciding
factor between the two products. Even the veteran traveler will find
themselves using the other functionalities more than the GPS application.
If you want GPS, use your phone. The iPhone already provides good
navigation. The Android platform is catching up, and it will not be long
before something comparable is launched for Windows Mobile.
Moving from the Pac Mate Omni you will find yourself losing the
flexibility
of Windows Mobile. Say good-bye to third-party applications, among many
of
the formatting features found in Office, but say hello to portability and
easy user interface. I've chosen to gamble on the Braille Sense Plus
because the keyboard is the quietest of all the notetakers. It's menu
structure most closely resembles Windows, not including the Pac Mate Omni,
and it feels good in your hands. I know this last may sound bogus or full
of personal opinion, but anyone who's ever spent hours reading a book on a
Braille display understands the importance of a product that can give you
a
good comfortable experience while reading and typing. All this does not
include the bigger storage, built-in wi/fi and Bluetooth, etc.
Just my thoughts,
Joe

Hi there I use both products and gps is a must for me.
At the moment the gps on the sense is behind the apex or should I say
braille note products.
I understand very very soon the new update to the sense products will
have the most up to date sendero gps on it.
all I can say for gps on the apex that it is truly great though
expensive I do know it is the rolls royce as regards gps products.
both apex and braille sense are very good indeed but the sense has a
much quieter keyboard.
if further interest email offlist and I will answer any questions as
both products are not cheap and you need to right choice.
cheers then.At 14:10 29/05/2010, you wrote:
Hi,
i have just joined this list, and want to introduce myself.
I do not have a Braille Sense Plus, but am considering it or a
BrailleNote Apex.
I know that the Apex is available now in an eighteen cell model, but
understand that there is also a soon to be Braille Sense Plus
eighteen cell model, too.
I am trying to learn as much as I can about both units, although, I
have seen neither one as yet.
I have used a Pac Mate Omni for several years, but want to go to
something smaller and lighter, especially, since I am interested in
the Sendero GPS.
I will want a unit with the Braille keyboard.
I would be interested in any comments from users who may have
familiarity with both the Braille Sense Plus and Apex, if it is okay
to ask that on this list.
Thanks.
Crystal
