[gps-talkusers] Re: no choice but to raise prices

Hi Mike: - Possibly its too late but a one improvement I like to see
incorporated within the next update is a way to cancel out an action that's
taking too long, instead of only being able to perform a reset, and having
to start all over again.  For example: creating a route, or searching for a
name, etc..  Thanks, and all the best. - Kim

Hello Listers,

I hope you all had a good new year celebration.

Sendero has been able to develop and continuously improve the 
BrailleNote GPS over the past 4 years largely due to a Department of 
Education NIDRR grant. In other words, users have not had to pay all 
the freight, so to speak, for the very rich features and content of 
the GPS product so far.

The amount of federal funding has slowly declined over the course of 
this five year grant and 2006 is our last year of funding. In order 
to provide the features and updates you have come to expect, Sendero 
finds it necessary to raise the list price of the new GPS package to 
$1599 as well as some of the upgrade prices to help pay for 
development. The good news is that this price will include 2 GPS 
upgrades. For those who have already purchased a GPS SMA, they too 
will receive the two next updates. If you wish to get these upgrades, 
a 2 upgrade SMA is $199. This will be approximately $50 to $100 less 
than the cost of those upgrades individually.

Remember too that Sendero sells the BrailleNote family of products. 
We hope you will purchase your GPS and BrailleNote directly from us 
and become part of the Sendero family. We make every effort to extend

We are just beginning beta testing of Sendero's GPS version 3.5 and 
hope to have it out by March. We will divulge more about the content 
of this update once we are closer to wrapping it up. We are certainly 
looking at your suggestions and although we cannot include everything 
in this update, there will be some excellent improvements.

I want to thank you for being on this pioneering GPS voyage with us. 
I like to think of us as a small but vocal and innovative group. 
Let's hope our numbers grow so the majority of blind folks can enjoy 
the independence we experience every day with our GPS, and it is 
indeed that, our GPS. Unlike any other, Sendero's GPS is a product of 
your emails and phone calls.

All the best for the New Year.
