[Blindtlk] Fwd: Announcing Sendero GPS 2012.5 with the new "EZ" and "XL" modes

[Gary Wunder]

Most only work well outdoors where they can receive clear satellite signals.
GPS works by looking at as many as they can find and then pinpointing your
position based on knowing where those signals originate. Buildings generally
obscure these signals him, and no system that I am aware of tries to
substitute for a cane in finding steps, curbs, and other obstacles..

Hi All,
  I am primarily a lurker here, but wanted to ask a question about GPS
systems for the blind in general. I was curious as to whether they can
provide you with as detailed info as to things like steps, overhangs... and
whether they work in doors. My understanding of GPS systems is that they
only work out-of-doors.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris

>>Sendero GPS is known as the Cadillac or Rolls Royce of accessible GPS 
>>products, a result of input from blind users over the past twelve years.
>>The new Sendero GPS "EZ" version combines an easy-to-use simple 
>>interface with the richness and power of the Sendero GPS technology. 
>>For example, the most popular functions are grouped in a short menu 
>>and the less common functions are only available in the full Version of
the software.
>>
>>This new "EZ" version is also "EZ" on the pocket-book. The MSRP for 
>>the software and maps is $498, one third the price of a complete GPS
package.
>>The EZ version does not include Virtual Mode or map updates, which can 
>>be purchased separately along with a memory card and GPS receiver. You 
>>can always update later to the full Sendero GPS XL version once you 
>>have mastered the basics.
>>
>>The "EZ" mode is also available in the complete Sendero GPS product 
>>with what we now call the XL mode. "XL" includes all the Sendero GPS 
>>features you have come to know like the Virtual Exploration mode, 
>>manual route recording, Replay User POI recording, 2 years of upgrades 
>>and the list goes on. The process of connecting to the GPS receiver 
>>has been made easier in both modes.
