The Trekker Breeze has fewer menus, but it is a bit tedious entering a
destination address.
I do not know the current pricing for the Sendero GPS, but if you are taking
your Apex with you everywhere anyway, then I'd contact Sendero directly and
see if they can't let you re-activate the 30 day trial so you can check it
out in more detail.
Obviously, you won't want to use the Apex in the rain unless you cover it
with a plastic bag, which actually works.

Hi.

You want simplicity with fewer menus to stumble through and reliability - go
with the new version of 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,
