GPSNarrator 3.2

GPSNarrator is an offroad VOICE based navigation program for PalmOS with bluetooth GPS receiver and GoogleMaps support.

The program has numeric, graphic and voice feedback. You must not look on the display, it tells all the parameters values( e.g.: speed: 0, 10, 20,... km/h or rest time to target: 10, 8, 5,... min ).

Try it, it is very easy to navigate your target without having street map. You hear the actual direction and distance values of target, and you will find very easy your target in the city or in the hills.

If you don't have a GPS receiver, turn on the GPS simulation in the prefs and you can try out the GPSNarrator trial version at home.
You can add max. 10000 points and routes to the database. It's easy to find point's lat/lon coordinates from third party map programs( e.g.: Google Earth).

You can simply right-click the Placemark in Google Earth and select Copy. Then Paste the contents of the clipboard into any text editor and save it with kml extension. This kml file you can import in the POI list window's menu. You can do the same the import of the route.

Some simple steps to navigate your target point:

 * Create your profile for the used vehicle( car, plane, bike, ship,... ).
 * Select a target point.
 * Start the navigation.
 * The narrator voice( distance, direction, lift, speed, rest time ) will help you to navigate your target.

The voice datas are stored in a separate narrator file(GPSNarSnd.prc).
