Charles,
Will the media attachment feature be ported to the GPS program?
Thanks

Hello Leslie,
Way To Go has pretty much all the same functionality as the Sendero GPS product except for GPS, so yes it supports the Braille Display. We did add a new "Rich Media" option to user POIs which allow you to record a memo and attach it to the POI. We also didn't forget our Braille Only friends and you can also attach a Keysoft document either KWT or KWB file to a POI as well, and when you ask for a detailed description of that POI it will play the wav file or if its a document will launch the book reader.

Is this for audio only. Will it support the Braille display?

odometer for distance traveled.

Thank you to everyone who submitted product name
suggestions. We received nearly 1,100 names from
which we chose Way To Go. We loved unique names
like MapsWell Smart and Yellow Brick Road and the
explorer names like Vespucci and Holman. Users
have always driven our product features and this
time, you helped pick the name. Way To Go!
