Navigation system for visual impaired persons based on satellital location

A system designed to assist visual impaired persons to travel in a city without external help using GPS navigation system has been developed. With the use of a BIuetooth hands-free, the user only has to give spoken commands to receive spoken directions to get to his/her destination. The directions received from the system will help him/her to walk parallel to the tangent of the walk-side and to walk through the most convenient route. This means that the route calculated to arrive to the destination point not only will be the shortest, but also the least risky one. The system can also be personalized by the user, entering his/her own waypoints.
