>BrailleNote and Braille Sense users, join the GPSAthon. This is Sendero's
>innovative and somewhat radical pricing experiment. The harsh reality of
>the relatively small blindness market is that prices are high because
>quantities are low. This is your chance to get a good deal and potentially
>influence future pricing.
>
>The GPS software for either the BrailleNote or Braille Sense products,
>including the VoiceNote and Voice Sense, lists for $1,598 including the
>navigation hardware or $1,388 for GPS software and maps only.
>
>During the GPSAthon, through the end of 2011, if 8 to 15 users purchase the
>software directly from Sendero, the price will be $888. If 88 or more units
>are purchased, the price will be $428 each. The more people who commit to
>the purchase, the more the price goes down. We will combine purchases
>worldwide and we will include both BrailleNote Sendero GPS and Sense
>Navigation purchases. The exact sliding price schedule is listed at the end
>of this email.
>
>Note: This program is designed for individual users purchasing directly
>from Sendero. Since the final price will be determined at the end of 2011,
>those schools and agencies that require the product immediately for a
>student or client should not participate in this program designed for
>individual consumer purchases.
>
>When you hit the purchase button, your credit card will be charged the
>lowest quantity price of $428. At the end of December, we will email
>everyone who has purchased and announce the final price, at which time your
>card will be charged the difference between $428 and the final
>price.  Again, the highest price will be $888 and the lowest $428. Sendero
>will post frequent updates on the latest count of purchases and the current
>price level at http://senderogroup.com/products/gpsathon.htm
>
>Don't miss out on this extremely powerful independence application for your
>device. You already have the most expensive part of the equation, the
>BrailleNote or Braille Sense. We are now providing you an affordable way to
>add GPS.
>
>Note: for most units, you will need a GPS receiver, available from Sendero
>or elsewhere. You will also need a place to store the map files like an SD
>card.
>
>The GPS software is downloadable along with maps for one region, for
>example North America or Europe, which currently has 24 countries and more
>being added. You also receive the next two year's upgrade for free unless
>you are using Australia or New Zealand maps, which do not come with upgrades.
