Hello Jessica,
I need a lat/lon on one of these unnamed highways so I can determine if this
will fix the problem or not.
Thanks.

There are a few major highways on the Alberta canada maps that are unlabeled.
Would it be possible to fix this map also?

Hello everyone,
I am really excited to report a few of the development projects we have been
hard a work over the summer which have been released!
Sendero is happy to report that the unnamed Parkways and Expressways in New
York and New Jersey maps have been fixed.
Bronx River Parkway, and Atlantic City Expressway’s are both named again! The
issue it turns out was a slight change in the map format when TeleAtlas became
TomTom and the deCarta RichMap Filter that converts the raw map format from
TeleAtlas/TomTom to RMF wasn’t updated, which wasn’t caught by any other
customer of theirs. deCarta finally fixed the problem and we regenerated the
New York and New Jersey maps which have been uploaded to our website. You can
log into your account at www.gosendero.com and download the updates if you use
either of these maps.
If you find any other map with unnamed Highways, Expressways, or Parkways which
use to be named in 2010 which are now unnamed in 2011 please let Sendero know
and we will regenerate those maps for you.
Sendero is also happy to announce that we have secured our download website!
Now when you enter in your password or change your password etc. it will be
secure using HTTPS and the SSL protocol. Even if you go to
http://www.gosendero.com it changes you to use https instead and make the data
you type in secure.
For those of you who upgraded/purchased to 2011 maps from Sendero for your
Braille/Voice Note, Braille/Voice Sense, or Mobile Geo, your account also has
access to Sendero Maps for your PC which you can download and install.
Yesterday Sendero released an update which not only provides a graphical map
for our Low Vision users but also a new Manual route creation option using your
virtual movements to record a very specific route that you choose. So if you
don’t like the route automatically generated maybe because it goes through a
section of town which is not safe or not familiar to you, this is no longer a
problem. Set yourself where you want the route to begin, turn on Manual route
creation and virtually move around the map and the system will keep track of
every turn you make and guide you along the exact same path you virtually just
travelled. If you make a mistake while creating the route, no problem you can
undo as many of the waypoints all the way back to the start of your route and
try again, once finished just save the route and you are good to go. Then you
can transfer this route to your portable GPS system powered by Sendero and
follow this route real-time just as if your device automatically created it for
you.
Happy Travels!
