GPS Trekker

A GPS system for the Blind

The Victor Trekker is a fully portable solution that works with various computing platforms such as Braille note-takers, stand-alone computing platforms and personal digital assistant (PDA) devices. It integrates off-the-shelf hardware for GPS input with voice output to provide instructions and optional voice input for entering notes. However, the real advantages of Victor Trekker are its software features and adaptation to meet the needs of the visually impaired.

The objective of Victor Trekker is to guide people who are visually impaired in their environment. VisuAide wants to augment the existing aids (white cane and guide dogs), not replace them. The system comes with a wide variety of maps that cover most of the countries in the western world. These maps can be purchased on-line and downloaded, or ordered and delivered on CD or Flash cards, a city or a region at a time. Victor Trekker is a fully scalable solution that will grow to accommodate new hardware computing platforms, more detailed geographic information and special applications such as trekking.

Victor Trekker provides more independence to people who are visually impaired and can increase  confidence in their ability to travel. It will also increase their accessibility and enjoyment of the most useful and interesting opportunities found in their environment.

Main features of Victor Trekker:

• voice-information control features 
• user-defined location marks 
• route planning and recording
• access to GPS status information 
• flexibility in information presentation and guidance to allow for various levels of users (beginner, normal, advanced) and familiarity with a given environment
