Description
WIZIGO® IS THE TRAVEL ASSISTANT FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED
Wizigo is the first community-based GPS that allows a visually impaired person to find their way around town using spatialized sound.
The user prepares his route by placing waypoints on the map, directly on his smartphone or computer. Wizigo will then guide him/her with discreet and intuitive sound indications. The user knows at any time if he is in the right direction or if he has to change direction and can also consult his points of interest nearby.
Wizigo allows you to make all your trips autonomously, without having to memorize them. It makes journeys incredibly fast and easy: virtual audio waypoints replace tangible elements of location, tracking and orientation. Thus, a large city square without fixed landmarks will not be bypassed, but can be crossed.
The community aspect of Wizigo is based on the sharing of routes, danger zones and points of interest. When a user identifies a danger zone, he/she reports it. The Wizigoths community is notified in real time and its members can anticipate and adapt their routes.
A web interface is also available to prepare your trips in advance on your computer: http://www.mywizigo.com
The application is entirely free, with no time limit.
Note: Continuous use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life. The Wizigo application will automatically shut down if it is in the background and the user is not following a sound route.

Ratings and Reviews
Nette Idee, allerdings ungenügend sprachlokalisiert
Ein durch Community gestütztes Navi für Sehgeschädigte mit Kartendaten von Google Maps? Warum nicht? Die Bedienung dieses kostenlosen Navigationshilfsmittels ist relativ einfach, Erstellen eigener POIs inklusive. Und auch das Feedback, dass man via Knochen-Kopfhörer auf die Ohren bekommt, ist schnell gelernt. Allerdings hätte ich mir von einer App, die zumindest mal europaweit angeboten wird, schon etwas mehr Sprachlokalisierung gewünscht. Bisher kann sie von Hause aus nur französisch und englisch. Ich selbst habe damit keine Probleme, ganz sicher aber ganz viele Andere, weniger sprachaffine Leute. Dies muss heute schlicht drin sein, selbst bei einem kostenlosen Produkt. Und es geht! Die App "Rango" vom gleichen Entwickler beweist es.
