Description

Consisting of a wearable GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) device, a smartphone (e.g., iPhone) for configuration and navigation, publicly available, specialized GPS receivers providing RTK GNSS corrections for high precision accuracy, a wireless communication network (e.g., cellular/internet) to deliver GNSS corrections to the GNSS Module. This system empowers a person to traverse a predetermined route confidently in both familiar and unfamiliar places via audible queues delivered by the smartphone.

Another aspect of this system is a “Helper Mode” to create and store a set of highly accurate GPS locations which make a route for precise point-to-point navigation.
