Introduction
The Kapten
application is primarily a navigation system designed for people with
visual impairment. It relies on the satellite-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 in order to
guide you there whenever you want. These points of interest are called K-Tags.
Lastly, Kapten map data is stored on
Smart
Vision
Micro-SD card, therefore you can
use this application without being connected to a data network (3G type).
Disclaimer
The Kapten application is a navigation assistance system based on
Smart
Vision
’
s
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 also on digital mapping data. As a result, we cannot guarantee that the
instructions given by the navigation system are accurate.
