I'm looking for clarification regarding having the Sendero Maps for the PC. I received an email after one of my purchases from Sendero, the Apex I think, giving me the access to the version 2010 of the PC maps. And, well, other than to taking the time to see which of my notetaking products allowed me access to the program, I really never used it much, and thus didn't purchase any of its upgrades. So, does purchasing a product from Sendero give us the access to the PC maps for the upgrade at time of purchase, or for any further upgrades for which we have an SMA on the purchased product in question?
Also, on a completely unrelated matter, has anyone besides myself had trouble downloading the documentation file for version 12 for the Sense products? I get it partially downloaded, but then I get a message saying it can't be downloaded. Although, for who knows what reason, I had no problem getting that file with my Apex, when I tried earlier today. I didn't actually try with my Sense product, though. Then, too, I didn't have any trouble downloading the maps and BN documentation with my PC.

Hello Peggy,Since you purchased Sendero GPS from Sendero you actually own Sendero Maps so all you need to do is download the Sendero Maps installer and install that and then you will no longer need to go to the gosendero website again. You can download all maps/pois and even get your license key for your Apex. Just use your Apex’s serial # and password to activate Sendero maps which you can run on up to 3 PCs.
Enjoy. Charles LaPierre, CTO Sendero GroupDevelopers of accessible GPS and distributors of technology for the blind

Wait a minute! I’m Kernfused! Are we supposed to install Sendero Maps on our PC’s now? I never have, as I thought that was a separate program and not related to my Apex and its GPS. So I’m busily downloading maps to transfer over to the Apex once I install the new software. Am I doing it wrong?

Hello everyone,Once you install the 2012 version of Sendero Maps on your PC and use the Check for Updates Feature (F3) if there are updates available they will show up automatically, otherwise you can switch between Updates Only or Show all Files. When you change to Show all files it will show you all install packages which you have access to depending on the account you are logged in with. If you have multiple accounts say you have an Apex and your spouse owns an Sense Nav, you can also select the button “Add New Account” and enter another account as long as you also have the password for this other account (and they also are upgraded to 2012), then the system can show you that account’s install packages available as well. In addition to install packages you can also select which maps/commercial POIs as well as GTFS POIs and the user generated collective POIs you wish to download. Also after you have download these POIs in the future when you go and check for updates if anything has changed which you previously have downloaded these updates will show up automatically for you to download. One other nice feature of using Sendero maps to download the maps and POIs is that all downloads are checked for download errors which hopefully will reduce corrupt files. The system will try three times before giving up if a download is corrupt.
You can then sync to either device and the system will transfer all user POIs/Favorites and the license key specific to the account chosen. You will then have the option to sync which user generated POIs and maps you wish to transfer to the device.
Sendero Maps is now the main hub that everyone should use to sync maps, pois, favorites and license keys to make things a seamless as possible and keep all devices you own current with the latest data.
I hope you all enjoy this release it has been a pleasure working on it and I would like to thank the team of testers and support staff who have made this release possible. I especially would like to thank Chris Grabowski who truly did an outstanding job and put up with my constant bombardment of questions and pre alphas. We had an amazing beta team and I would like to single out a few of the outstanding contributors: Kate Stephens, Courtney Tater, John Ramm, Ilona Welleman, Robert Sweetman and all the rest of the beta team. Congratulations to you all this is as much our release is it is as yours.
Sincerely, Charles LaPierre, CTO Sendero GroupDevelopers of accessible GPS and distributors of technology for the blind

The release for the other supported devices is under the PC release (at least looking at my account it was).

It has been 19 years since the founders of Sendero began working on the first GPS prototypes. This release includes software improvements for Sendero Maps for the PC as well as for the BrailleNote and Sense GPS versions as well as updated maps for these products and for Mobile Geo.
Our goal at Sendero is to provide a navigational product that levels the playing field when it comes to getting around independently. Notable features include the ability to:
* Virtually explore the maps even before you head out the door* Personalize your world by recording your own Points of Interest * Share Points of Interest with other users, much like the popular mainstream applications such as Google Maps and Freebase * Use the enhanced features of Sendero Maps for the PC to sync all your data between the PC and your portable device.
