An android GPS-based navigation application for blind

Abstract

Visual Impairment makes the person depend on another person for all his works and daily chores. Through the application proposed in this paper, we aim to eliminate this dependency of a visually impaired person when travelling from one place to another. The main goal is to provide information regarding the current location, how much distance and time is required to reach the destination as well as provide the user with the directions and turns to be taken while travelling by providing continuous audio feedback in his understandable language.
