Hi all
I have recently come to appreciate just how much work has gone into producing
the Sendero application.
My wife has recently acquired a Tom-tom GPS for the car. The first thing to be
said is that it is much more limited in its application than the Sendero. It
does not have a route planning or exploring function. It can only create routes
from the current position. It is very good at creating new routes if you miss a
turning.
The Tom-tom software also appears to do some filtering of the positional
information that it receives from the satalites. For example, it never gives
you a position off a road - even when you are off a road - there must be some
correction mechanism that makes assumptions and always relates them back to a
road.
I was expecting to be out of a job for route planning when we are on holidays
but Sendero can still beat the Tom-tom and help with the planning.
