GW Micro is pleased to announce the release of Sense Navigation version 2010, allowing Sense notetaker users the ability to optimize their travel experience with new maps, enhanced address searching, a history list, and much more.  SenseNav 2010 is the much anticipated upgrade to SenseNav 2007 version 1.3    

In order to use SenseNav 2010, you must install the recently announced free 5.5 version firmware for your specific Sense notetaker.                                             

SenseNav 2010 is a program that uses the Sendero GPS SDK.  This program uses map data together with a GPS receiver, and gives information based on the map data.  With millions of points of interest, you can find anything from restaurants to hotels, to hospitals.  You can even add your own custom entries such as your home, your work, or a friend's home.  

SenseNav 2010 now features the Tele Atlas 2010 maps, which are compiled to work with any Sendero-based system.  Users of SenseNav 2010 now will have a more enriching and accurate experience exploring their environment while improving their location literacy.   

SenseNav 2010 gives users enhanced address search so that you can search by zip code instead of just by city name.  This makes it easier to search for addresses in areas where the city name is not correctly updated or in an area which has not been fully developed.  

Would you like to review your travel history?  SenseNav 2010 has added a history list that contains the last 25 items, including your initial GPS position, address, and Points Of Interest (POI) searches.  In addition, a favorites list lets you add frequently searched addresses and POIs so you can bring them up quickly without having to look them up. 

There are now three types of ways to find POIs. Nearby POIs list all POIs around you up to a quarter mile. Simple POIs let you specify a category and the name of the POI.  Advanced POIs allow you to specify the category, the direction, the starting distance of the POI, and in which field to search for the POI, such as name, address, street, or phone number.

Routes have been enhanced.  You now can customize how routes are created, such as whether to use a shorter distance or shorter time.  If you are taking a long trip, you can customize your route to use a highway, or you can customize your route to avoid highways all together.  You can even plan your route to use more right or left turns. 

Commercial POIs can be modified.  When you search for a POI and its information has changed or the POI is no longer there, you can modify it with new information, or you can delete it. 

Also included with SenseNav 2010 are enhanced replay files.  Now when you create a replay file, you can add annotations, or notes along the way.  They are announced when you play back the replay file.  You can also create a route based on a replay.  If annotations are added in the replay, they are used as waypoints when creating the route.

The retail price to upgrade to SenseNav 2010 is $99.  GW Micro will provide the key file and you can then download your own maps by going to www.gosendero.com.
  
If you would like GW Micro to create a new SD card for you with the maps and key, the cost is $149.  Additionally, if you want to upgrade your Sense notetaker to the new Sense 5.5 free firmware, but you don't want to upgrade your existing SenseNav 2007 to the new version, you need to install the older SenseNav after upgrading to version 5.5.
