Discovering Neroche
Information on the move
Digital Interpretation
The Neroche Scheme is embarking on an exciting and innovative project to develop a digital guidebook and trail guide to the project area using handheld computers and the latest global positioning (GPS) technology.
Satellite technology allows us to create 'hot spots' in the countryside enabling visitos to access information about specific sites they stumble upon during their rambles in the hills. Pre-programmed information automatically appears on the screen when a person enters a 'hot spot' and can be anything in a digital format including photographs, artwork, music, stories, games' animations...the posibilities are almost endless!
The GPS positioning also provides an accurate location and navigation tool so walkers can step off the beaten track and explore more areas without ever losing their bearings.
The development of the digital interpretation package will continue over the coming months, with the aim of making these units available to the public during 2008, as the first Herepath Trails come into use. The digital information will not be at the expense of 'traditional' printed guides, which will also be produced in due course.
