Conventional navigation systems prove useful when you want to find you way around in a city. However, things become tricky when you are in areas like an obscure trek path, an unmapped mountain or in a jungle. Many times finding the old trails becomes impossible and it is easy to lose the sense direction. 

Aftek present you with an intelligent solution – Trek Friend which can assist people during the treks and provide directions when you are on traversing on an unmapped terrain.

The application works in two modes:

Tracking mode

• Ability to track / record the trek (based on device movement)
• User can insert various annotations during the move, including text message, image / photos, audio / video recording, or symbols (symbols can be representative of water availability, shelter, steep climb and so on)
• Online mode where GPRS is enabled - the information is passed to an online portal where the actual recording takes place
• Offline mode where GPRS is disabled, but the user still has facility to upload the trek information on to the portal.

Navigation mode

• Ability  to download the trek details from the portal and use it as a reference for future trekking  
• In Navigation mode, the device guides the person with audio visual directions. The details of the route can also be seen
• On reaching desired destination, you can replay earlier captured annotations like text, images, audio and videos or symbols.
