Aine,

Since you already have a BrailleNote, it makes good sense to add the GPS
software to it. It has a lot more features than the Trekker. For example, on
the campus where there are not any roads, you can create either manual
routes or replay files between classes.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Sendero software on Apex, or Trekker Breeze?

Hi all

I am new to this list and have just started university, living at a hall of
residence.  The campus is in the city (of Auckland, New
Zealand) and I was thinking of purchasing some GPS software to help with
navigation around it, and particularly, for going to events which require
bus/taxi transport to get to.  I already have a BrailleNote Apex.  A couple
of years ago, I accidentally knocked the GPS software start-up and a 30-day
trial begun.  Back then, however, I wasn't interested and didn't want the
trial but couldn't cancel it.  So now, if I go in to it, I'm told my trial
has expired even though I haven't actually tried it out.

I don't currently have a smartphone, so for GPS options I was tossing up
between the Trekker and the Sendero software.  Could anyone outline some
pros, cons and considerations for each? I'm fine with navigating with speech
or braille (I know the Trekker doesn't have a braille display), and I'll be
taking my BrailleNote everywhere anyway so the transport side isn't really a
problem.  For example though, I'm wondering if the trekker might be more
waterproof or easier to navigate with one hand while walking, or whether the
Sendero maps on the BN would offer much more extensive information than the
Trekker, or just anything like that generally?


Thank you very much in advance for your help; your time is very much
appreciated.


Best wishes,
