Hello, and welcome.
If you purchased the package new, a GPS receiver, at last check the Holux
M-1000, should be arriving in your mailbox within a few days. If you already
have the software, you can use it now in virtual mode, where you can explore
the maps without a receiver.
As for GPS events, it depends on the host, but many are reasonably priced.
For example, I helped run a gPS weekend at Camp Tuhsmeheta last year which
included basic and intermediate training, trips to an audio-enhanced
sculpture garden and nature hikes. The weekend cost last year was $100 plus
your transportation to Michigan. We'll have news out soon about this year's
event coming up in August and the costs will probably be similar.
The Sendero GPS software only works on the BrailleNote family of PDA's,
though the Sendero SDK, the actual guts of the program, has now been ported
to the Voice Sense. The licenses are sold separately, however.
You can currently print directions in braille but not actual maps, to my
knowledge. That seems like a rather advanced feature, though I'm sure it
would be quite cool.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
My name is Reinhard Stebner and I have just purchased the GPS software
from senderogroup. I have several questions for you.
1) Do I need to by a GPS reciever or does it come with the package?
2) If I wanted to join any of the group activities where they go GPS
exploring, is there a group discound or is it all done on your one and
you just happen to meet a differnat areas?
3) Will the software run on anythe else other then a briallenote?
(this is more for the map portion).
4) Is it possable to braille a area map?
I look forwrad to recieving my unit and exploring using it!
