Description

Basing on tests with street children, VolksNav makes StreetSmart was developed for children, the blind, those who can't read maps etc.

It divides 500 cities allover the world like a cake into 12 sectors, forming location codes which are a better answer to the question "where?" than names, post codes, lat/lon or "here".

The app uses GPS and compass and - a worldwide innovation - indicates the direction to the centre of town, and this with text and graphic !!

Following the instructions on www.volksnav.de/StreetSmart, such tools allow a self-guiding like in Rio de Janeiro around the Christ statue:

- inwards/outwards
and
- clockwise / counter clockwise.

The main benefits are
- awareness improvement concerning locations, directions, distances, cardinal points and angles; 
- sharping of orientation sense.
- a language for international understanding (Orientation Esperanto)

What's New in Version 7.0

The center point of some cities have been optimized
