Scott,
Geo is Sendero anyway, so you are essentially using the same interface.
All the best
Steve

Don't bother go with Mobile Geo or Sendero's products running on a device
like the Braille note. Personally, I'm a geo guy running Geo on either a
Sprint Mogul or Touch Pro.
Great maps, no need for a data connection, nice interface, user points of
interest that are shared, and easy learning curve. Don't bother with that
proprietary blind specific over priced specific device mumbo jumbo and go
with something that runs on regular consumer hardware.;)
