Kapten
The Kapten application is primarily a navigation system designed for visually impaired
people. It relies on the Global Positioning System (GPS) to make your journey easier and
improve your mobility thanks to its content rich features, such as geo localization,
navigation, and map discovery. In addition, Kapten will allow you to save your preferred
points of interest to guide you there whenever you want. These points of interest are called
K-Tags. Finally, upon map downloads, the Kapten data are stored on SmartVision2, so you
can use this application without an internet connection
.
Disclaimer
The Kapten application is a navigation assistance system based on SmartVision2
ʼs
positioning system, intended for pedestrians, but it can also be used in a car.
During a navigation session, please respect the warnings described herein. Whatever your
travel mode, navigation instructions given by the Kapten application should not free you
from respecting the road traffic rules and behave responsibly. Your attention should be
focused primarily on your environment. Stay alert and attentive during your trip and respect
other users, either pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, or motorists. Finally, use common
sense before obeying a navigation instruction from the Kapten application. Carefully
observe the signs and the geometry of sidewalks and streets. If you are unable to take the
direction indicated by the Kapten application, it will automatically recalculate your trip from
your new position. Please note that this product relies on the positioning system of your
Smartphone. Accurate determination of your position depends on the GPS signal strength,
which depends heavily on your environment, where you are, how you carry your handset,
and on digital mapping data. Thus, KAPSYS cannot guarantee that the instructions given
by the navigation system are accurate.
The Kapten application is not operational until the GPS feature is activated. If the GPS is
not active, you will be requested to activate it upon starting the application.

are interest in using an Internet connection. Select the country you want to install from the
list and press the "OK" button to start the download. Once the download is complete, the
application must be restarted to install the new mapping.
Good to know:
your downloaded maps are saved by default in the internal memory of your
SmartVision2. However, you can change the location of your saved maps using the "Map
Management" option in the application settings.
