Charles:
The majority of us do not have DVD players unless we got a new drive or
system recently. For my sake at least, I hope the CD is not going the way
of the 8 track player. Most of us that will be using the Sendero GPS system
are blind or visually impaired and do not need the video capability of a
DVD. Besides, since all the maps will not fit on the Braille Note at one
time anyway and we put them on the hard drive to download to the Braille
Note when we need them, the CD's get taken out only if we need to restore to
the hard drive.

Hello Todd,
I agree with you we should probably offer the CD bundle as a DVD option for
those users who have a DVD drive. Mike experimented with creating some
DVD's for the Beta users and it didn't do so well, I think Mike recorded
them in a format which would only work on his DVD. In any case we will
look into this as an option. Unfortunately the 8 CD's wouldn't quite fit
onto a single DVD which made it less attractive, but 2 DVD's are better
environmentally than 8 CD's. I will discuss this with Mike.
Charles.
