  • - Individual choice of these sights / nodes
  • - The routing system leads to each of the selected locations.
• 5. Accessibility of everything worth knowing about every place and every sight every place.

Technical implementation

A new technical device, the travel navigator, is produced.

This device consists of existing electronic units that work together connected and housed in a new housing. For this new product Patent protection applied for.

Components of the travel navigator

• 1. geopositioning or routing system (already available in stores)
• 2.Data carrier and associated playback device - the following are available:
  • 1. CD and CD player
  • 2. DVD (CD successor with larger storage space) and DVD player
    or
  • 3. PCMI card and reader

All of the media and players mentioned are on the market.

• 1. Small screen = LCD display (as with electronic Pocket readers). You are in the trade.
• 2. If a reader card is selected as the data carrier, one is required Speech generation chip and loudspeaker (both are available in stores).
• 3. Headphones.

Technical steps

• 1. Create the text data
  (Cultural nodes of a country, a city / Important addresses / All tourist attractions / Texts for each tourist attraction / Commented travel routes and walks through a country and its cities)
• 2. Network all hardware components and interconnect the text data with the Geoposition system.

For each city / country there is a separate software that is especially for the travel navigator is produced. For this, together with the travel navigator as hardware, inventor protection / Patent protection applied for.  

Full patent protection is requested for those listed under 1 to 10 technical solutions for a product called a travel navigator. He connects notebook with in a constantly evolving way Geopositioning system and geopositioning system with electronic travel, or cultural guides and offers internet access. It offers information requests via video, text and voice output. It enables the precise access to Internet tourism web pages and to Internet in general and with it all of its services. The Hardware connections and software connections are always the  adapted to the latest developments in hardware and software, so that the Travel navigator is always up to date and always optimized.

So for that and for further developments based on the travel navigator full patent protection is requested.

Full patent protection is also requested for it to be the travel navigator enables you to travel virtually because the travel navigator for a city X of can be used from anywhere. I can use the software in Rome import for London, call up the view of the center and the menu of the Make full use of travel navigators for London - i.e. watch videos about London, inform me about sights via screen or headphones, via the links on the Internet to the tourism pages and from there from up to date information to up to date information on surfing London and to the web cams come from London.
