Abstract
We propose a navigation system for the visually impaired using GPS. First, we prepared a GPSreceiver and a computer. The next, we made programs to navigate safely using location data, digitalmap and voice data. These programs searches for the most safely route and inform about a route tothe destination using voice data. We tested this system and installed on a cell phone.
