STRIDER

Want to know exactly where you are or how to get from here to there? Strider lets you confidently use your mobility skills to go to new places and try new things!

A portable solution to map access, Strider is versatile and easy to use. Combine Strider's software, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, and a talking Notebook PC to create a complete personal orientation tool. The GPS receiver picks up satellite positioning information that is accurate to within 100 meters; the optional Differential GPS (DGPS) receiver improves that accuracy to within 1 to 10 meters. Wherever you go, let Strider be your companion!

Strider is a joint development of Arkenstone and VisuAide. For information about Strider for Canada and France, contact VisuAide in Quebec at (514) 463- 1717.
