Nonprofit organizations Sendero supports
The Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired is transforming travel for the blind through the development of innovative accessible maps that use touch and sound to orient blind travelers, called TMAPs. TMAPs cover one square mile centered on a specific street address, or intersection with a marker to show the position of the address. Visit the TMAP information page for more details.

The Seeing Eye is the oldest existing dog guide school in the world. Twelve times a year, as many as 24 students at a time visit the Morristown, N.J., campus to discover the exhilarating experience of traveling with a Seeing Eye dog. One way to support the excellent work of the Seeing Eye is to make a donation of $5,000 or more and you will get to name a puppy. It is only appropriate that an accessible GPS company would name a puppy Sendero (pictured above). He is a male black lab. Sayrs is a female shepherd (also pictured above), born September 16, 2010. She is named in honor of the late Martha Sayrs from Friendsville Tennessee, a woman of vision and a huge animal lover.
