How Does GPS AutoAnnounce Work?
GPS AutoAnnounce is a system that monitors the real time position and direction of a moving object (tour bus, boat, cable car, helicopter, train, etc) by means of satellite communication.
 
By using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology the product plays pre-recorded MP3 audio announcements when a moving object enters the immediate proximity of a point of interest.
 
GPS AutoAnnounce therefore acts as an Automated "Tour Guide" communicating interesting facts, history, advertisements and/or safety information in single or multiple languages when certain positions on the route are reached.
 
The system is fully automatic and can be paused at any time to allow for personalised communication with passengers.
 
The route that the object takes can hold various points of interest with matching audio announcements for each.
 
The system can effectively be customized for any object that can be in motion; therefore it can be installed on tour boats,
