Do you expect them to lose money on this app? They have to pay a fee
in order to use the maps that this app utilizes. The problem is that
there are not millions of people who are going to buy this app, only
a few thousand, and the cost of using those maps must be spread out
through the purchasers.
I bought a human rare ware Trekker 7 years ago that did little more
than this app. It cost me fifteen hundred dollars.
If you do the math, after subscribing to this app and paying the
taxes, it works out to less than twenty two cents a day. That is a
small price to pay for something that is customized for a specific
portion of the population.

Even so, it's too expensive and nothing but outright greediness.
I've already written this as a rating for the app, adding that it's
nothing less than a case of total greed, greed, greed, taking
advantage of blind people and stealing money out of their pockets.
Sixty-nine bucks a year, that is outrageous! What a cocky attitude
for Sendero to adopt. who do they think they are anyway? I couldn't
even rate it zero stars and I begrudgingly gave them one just to speak my mind.
