  • Product Description:

    Kapsys is an innovative mobile navigation system principally based on satellite geo-location (GPS) and vocal interaction (speech synthesis and voice recognition). The user can locate the best routes whatever the mode of transport (by foot, bicycle, or car). Audio files can be downloaded to listen to your favorite music (1GB), or even listen to FM radio stations. Using Bluetooth technology, the Kapten allows the user to make or receive calls at any time and speak with your contact. The user can create a "ktag" which is a voice recording of a place noticed. Once recorded, all that is needed is to add a voice memo. When the name of the location is said, Kapten Personal GPS Voice Navigator will speak the directions aloud. This mobility pack includes a sturdy carrying case and a back-up battery which extends the power supply for 10 additional hours, bringing the total battery life to 15 hours*. For a limited time we will also include a wall charger.
