The problem is that the accuracy of GPS is not precise enough and not guaranteed, so a new tool is under development using EGNOS, a European system improving GPS accuracy down to two meters assisting blind pedestrians by distinguishing streets.

A Guide Dog with Satellite Technology

Not an uncommon sight: a dog guiding a blind person, but here it seems that the dog is talking.
Well, not really, the voice comes from this device, a GPS receiver adapted for guidance of blind persons.
For the blind it is quite an evolution which completes the work of the dog.

I think that they complete the two systems that already exist? like the dog or the cane, and I think in the near future, it will be a great help to the blind community. I think that to be able to know at any given moment where you are? or know approximately the direction that you are taking? can give you much more autonomy when you are in a town that you are not familiar with.

All you have to do is to type the direction on the braille keyboard of this personal navigator.
