Announcing Sendero GPS 2011 for the BrailleNote family of Products

Davis, CA, May 16, 2011

GPS Version 2011 is Sendero's fifteenth version since the laptop GPS was first released in 2000. It has been 18 years since the founders of Sendero began working on the first GPS prototypes.

The Sendero GPS 2011 version available today is for the BrailleNote family of products as well as for Sendero Maps for the PC, a powerful tool you receive free with the purchase of either the BrailleNote or Braille Sense GPS products. The 2011 Sense Nav GPS will be coming soon followed by the 2011 version for Mobile Geo in a month or so.

Highlights of this 2011 version include:

  • Most importantly, new 2011 maps and Points of Interest.
  • New purchases of v2011 come with maps and 2 additional years of upgrades. The Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) counts for 3 years of upgrades. You must already be running v2011 to buy an SMA.
  • In Explore mode, we have improved Virtual Navigation for Apex including better descriptions for over and under passes.
  • We have nicely improved the ability to track the side of the street and cross street on the Apex.
  • A huge new feature is the addition of freeway exit numbers and the announcement of which city the freeway is heading towards: for intersections, lookaround intersections and route following. Example: "ramp to CA-85 SB. Exit 1A, towards Gilroy." Ability to describe any intersection with the "annotate intersection" feature.
