Besides neither device can run any software not writtenfor it by its manufacturer.
Have a great day, Alex

For this even if the difference is a second it won't matter that
much
its not like we are clocking FLOPS or something. A 60+ mile
route
will have enough of a difference that a stopwatch will be more
that
enough to determine how fast both calculate the same route. I
would
imagine that the Voice Sense having 100 MHz faster processor willhands down beat the BrailleNote in route creation, my guess is
there
will be probably a 5 to 10 second speed difference on the Voice
Sense.

Sounds great, but to be fair, you should use a stopwatch to time the route creation in both cases and see how long each unit takes. Counting beeps is probably not accurate as they may go faster on the Voice Sense due to the faster processor. Jim

Hi. On the Voice Sense I put in Sendero as the virtual position and the Lighthouse as the destination. It showed that the destination was 64.37 miles southwest from Sendero.
The Voice Sense plays progress tones, but I don't think they are three seconds apart. I created the route using two slightlymethods. The first was using the micro hard drive CF card with
the
whole West of the US loaded. The second test was with only the California maps loaded in the flashdisk of the Voice Sense. Inboth cases the result was the same. Creating a vehicle route
took
57 beeps. The route had 364 waypoints. To be honest, this islonger than what I would have thought. At least when I've
created
many routes in Denver, Chicago, and Fort Wayne, 60 or so mile routes do not seem to take as long, but I don't know if POIs or map areas have something to do with this.
So, there is the Voice Sense side of things.
Kevin Chao said the following on 12/13/2007 1:14 PM:If we wwant to figure this out we can run a test. Let's say we just have the maps for California loaded and create a route from Sendero Group to the LightHouse and see what the difference in speed is. Raul, I am not sure if there is some progress tone on the Sense Nav. On the Sendero GPS, there is a swoosh that occurs every 3 seconds to indicate some progress. Starting: Sendero Group 11188 Maple Lane Davis, CA Ending: LightHouse 214 Van ness Ave San Francisco, CA Could someone perform the route calculation on the BrailleNote and someone on the VoiceSense? We then can compare notes. It might be faster on the VoiceSense as Alex suggested as there is more processing power and RAM on the VoiceSense. There are many variables that aren't accounted for, but this is just a general comparison.

Isn't the chip in the Braille Sense faster? Maybe someone from sendero could tell us if route calculation is noticeably faster.

Hello Eric. I'd be happy to comment on the Voice Sense side of
things
although I'm not sure how much my comments will mean since I've
only
used the Voice Sense and not the Braille note. The things i can
comment
on are mainly things which I've seen from reading other user experiences, but none from me personally.
Eric Brinkman said the following on 12/13/2007 11:26 AM:Hi,
I am curious whether anyone who has used both the BrailleNote GPS
and
the Voice Sense GPS can comment on any differences between the
two.
Thanks in advance.
Eric
