There is no transfer of licenses and maps as such between products. However, Sendero does give discounts to users of one product when they purchase another. Call the office or email privately to discuss. As you might imagine, I have all the GPS products, Geo, iPhone and the PK with GPS is pretty hard to beat unless you get the OnHand. A used PK isn't a bad way to go.

Thanks Mike. That's definitely something worth considering.

If you want the best experience, I would say you need to purchase 3 apps, but you would only run 2 at a time. For navigation and following roots, I would suggest getting the navigon mobile navigator, and the TomTom gps app. This is because each one uses different maps, and some of the features are slightly different. However, you would use one or the other here, not both at the same time. For determining where you are, the sendero look around app will tell you your closest streets, as well as provide the closest addresses and points of interest. You would then enter a destination in to either navigon or TomTom, then once you're following the root, open the sendero app. There's really no need to switch back to the app that is following the root unless you want to change the destination. Sure, it's a few different apps, but you're paying about $100 compared to several hundred. Of course, each person must use what works best for them and what they can afford, but for me, this se t up works quite well. On Oct 30, 2010, at 9:46 AM, Allison Mervis wrote: > Hi Mike. > Thanks.
