Doesn't Humanware have some new thing that does use Sendero? Also, I think their GPS solution for the BrailleNote family is Sendero based. I didn't know off hand what Trecker used as I find it to be a fairly peculiar hybrid solution that I could never quite understand. If, however, HW has made Trecker for all WM handsets, I'll have to take a second look.
I do have friends who use and really enjoy Trecker and I must admit that I have nearly no hands on with it (maybe 8 hours or so) which makes my opinionvery dubious. cdh On Aug 11, 2009, at 8:10 AM, Chris G wrote: > > Hi, > FYI Humanware Trekker is not using the Sendero SDK. > > Chris > > > > On Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:01:26 +0100 > william lomas <lomaswill...@googlemail.com> wrote: > >> >> what will the update in december contain for navigon? >> >> On 10 Aug 2009, at 18:50, Chris Hofstader wrote: >> >>> >>> EI don't do podcasts.
