Oh, grin, as you already know, I do have the VS and Sync Braille; however, GW and HIMS don't seem to update the GPS program nearly as often as Sendero do for the BrailleNote. But, more specifically to answer your question, when I purchased this used PK, a GPS license was included with it, thus I would be looking for another HW product to which to transfer my GPS license on the PK. And, of course I would expect to send Sendero my non working unit so they could see why I wanted the transfer and know that I wasn't trying to get another license for free. And, if memory serves, it costs fifty dollars for the license transfer.
