Yes Mike, of course it may as well. Certainly the phone would be a good choice in those situations.

Most phones have vibration built in. The PDAs do not so short of adding a vibral tactile device, you cannot have this feature on the BrailleNote for example. You might be able to dosomething however with the Braille display. But of course, if you are goingto put your fingers on the display, it might as well display the turning information in words.

Geo users will readily know that vibrations have been used with Mobile Geo for a variety of navigation and alert information using the Morse Code system. In the options, the user has the choice of vibration and audio alert or either audio or vibration individually for a particular alert like turn now or GPS receiver not detected. It makes a lot of sense to use vibrations to nudge the user along their route. Mike At 07:38 AM 4/23/2010, you wrote:Perhaps this idea is interesting for some of you as well. Pocket Navigator is a free Android app, developed by the German OFFIS research institute. OFFIS is also aconsortium partner of the European research project Haptimap. . I like theidea of vibration for navigation respectively information. From the pocketnavigator.org site (see or hear video too): "The PocketNavigator is available for free in the Android Market. It uses tactile feedback to guide you safely through an unknown city. Thus, your precious mobile phone can safely stay inside your pocket. The lines to follow will explain you how the tactile feedback works, and how you can use the PocketNavigator. Tactile Feedback As it is uncomfortable to keep a mobile device in the hand during a navigation task all the time, we developed TwoPulse, a tactile information presentation method for your mobile phone. As suggested by the name, Two Pulse uses two tactile pulses to indicate the direction towards the next waypoint of your route. If both pulses have the same duration, the waypoint is straight ahead. If the first pulse is longer than the second, you have to turn left a bit. Ifthe second one is longer than the first pulse, you have to turn a bit right. Two Pulse gives youcontinuous feedback and do not give you specific turning instructions as a common navigation system will do. Thus, you have the ability to navigate more freely. Please also watch the demonstration video below." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixbMFMhN2WY&feature=player_embedded# Source: http://www.pocketnavigator.org/about.php Best regards, Per http://twitter.com/PerBusch To change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode): http://senderogroup.com/social_media/email.htm Additionally, to unsubscribe send an email to gps-talkusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject.Michael G.
