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,

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

Announcing the release of Sendero GPS, 2012


Roseville, California, July 1, 2012

 

This Sendero GPS 2012 release for the BrailleNote and Sense products is
Sendero's sixteenth version since the laptop GPS version was first released
in 2000. 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.

 

Thanks to continued funding from NIDRR
