     Sendero GPS 6.2 Released!

October, 29, 2009

Davis, CA

Version 6.2 is the second free upgrade for version 6.0 users.  There are 6 improvements over version 6.1, 13 total since version 6.0 was released in July.

Sendero is always looking for the most efficient way to get you on your way.  With Sendero version 6.2, we have introduced time saving features.  Expect route calculation, loading and saving to be up to five times faster when in Turns Only mode.  Use the new hot key (ENTER with dots 4-5-6 on BT and / on QT), saving you two keystrokes, to hear POI media content, a feature released in version 6.1.  In addition to saving you time, we also have introduced more accurate Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) calculations.
