Subject: Sendero Group is now shipping BrailleNote GPS Version 3.3

DAVIS, CA, (August 1, 2005)

Sendero's GPS version 3.3 for the BrailleNote is now shipping including
versions for the tiny PK and the new mPower. Version 3.3 introduces two huge
improvements to Sendero's BrailleNote GPS, the Cadillac of accessible GPS
systems.

* The Points of Interest database is being expanded from one to twelve
million points in the U.S. and Canada with 108 categories. Additional
functionality has been added to deal with this voluminous and newer data
content. In addition to the restaurants and hotels common in previous
versions, the GPS 3.3 data includes everything from beauty salons to nursing
homes to churches. As our beta testers in the U.S. and Canada have said, "it
is amazing how much stuff is out there and we feel like we can see it with
our BrailleNote GPS, especially in version 3.3."

* We have enhanced the manual route creation software. You can now designate
manual waypoints as Straight, Left or Right. You can add custom descriptions
like "4-way intersection" or "slight bend in path." This makes manual routes
created across a campus or in the woods extremely versatile.

For both manual and automatic routes, you now hear a natural voice telling
you to "continue straight" when you are on course or, "Warning, off route"
when you are not.

Directional information has been enhanced by averaging headings, making
relative directions for waypoint and points of interest much better.

BrailleNote GPS has at least double the features and functions of other
accessible GPS products and the PK GPS is the smallest and most powerful.

For more information, come see Sendero or HumanWare at an upcoming
conference or call 1-888-757-6810. Details are on the web at
http://www.senderogroup.com

HumanWare is the manufacturer of the BrailleNote family of products and
Sendero Group is the manufacturer of the GPS as well as a distributor of
BrailleNotes. Sendero's GPS products are the most mature as a result of 10
years development and sales with the largest installed base of blind GPS
users worldwide.
