Eric, 
 
One more question regarding these incorrect POI announcements of left/right
side. How far were the reported POIs, both in real-world and to the GPS.
 
Thanks, 
 
Kevin

By a trace file, do you mean a GPS replay?  I've never tried that feature.
However I will try using it in the future, and send it to you.  I'm not sure
what the quality was, but I think I may have been moving too slowly.
 
I listened to the audio tutorial from Sendero last night and it was fairly
helpful.  I wish Sense Nav had a similar tutorial.

Can you record a trace file and see if it happens so you can send it to us
so we can test it? Also, when this happens if it happens again, what is your
gps quality?

Hi,
 So I was walking around town last night trying to get used to using Sense
Nav.  I was with a sited person, and noticed that while it identified the
near POIS correctly, it always said that they were to the left even though
they were in fact on the right side of the street, where I was walking.
Also, there were a couple of instances where I was literally right next to a
place but I never got a "look around poi" message indicating it was there.
Do I need to ajust my settings?  Could I be wearing the receiver
incorrectly?  I am using the Hollux M-1000 clipped to the shoulder strap of
the VS/SyncBraille carrying case.  I normally hold it so the port used to
charge it is facing downward and the light that flashes is on the front.
Sometimes it ends up being sideways when I'm walking, but the light is still
facing forward.
 Thanks in advance.
 Eric
