BrailleNote GPS User Testimony

"I am a blind pedestrian trying to navigate in an unfamiliar area. I turn on my BrailleNote GPS, and the automatic POI "look around" mode announces points of interest within 300 feet. But that's only the start."

Sendero GPS Will:

Automatic intersection detection and announcement
Help you locate bus stops and other points of interest
Guide you to a new restaurant for lunch with a friend
Help you find your way back to your hotel

Now you, too, can quickly identify precisely where you are, plot the location of your planned destination, and let BrailleNote GPS determine a route to get there. Sendero's GPS software uses a tiny GPS receiver to determine your location from global positioning satellites.

Sendero GPS puts the power of location literacy within your grasp, and it works with any of the BrailleNote and VoiceNote family of products.

Travel independently and confidently with Sendero GPS

Maximize portability with the 0.9 pound BrailleNote PK and wireless Bluetooth GPS. Alternatively, choose the 32 or 18 cell BrailleNote with GPS or, for speech only, the VoiceNote GPS; both are available with a Braille or standard keyboard.

After ten years of input from blind users, Sendero's GPS software with detailed street maps, enables you to use your BrailleNote or VoiceNote to:

Automatically create routes for either walking or riding in a vehicle.
Understand the street layout before traveling to a new city by means of the "virtual explore" mode.
Generate detailed information about your speed, the direction you are traveling and your altitude.
Immediately calculate the distance and direction to a street address or intersection.
Determine your location relative to millions of "points of interest."
Create your own personal points of interest such as home, a friends house or college buildings.
Focus your points-of-interest search by category.
