Hi,
The user could also purchase the EZ version of Sendero GPS for the BrailleNote. 
This will have less menus and options to work through.
For example, here is a podcast talking about the 2012.5 version where EZ mode was introduced.

There are two versions, EZ and XL. XL is the full featured version that allows you to go into EZ mode. The EZ version has less menus and options to go through.

Hi.

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

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,
