Tour-Bot MP3
A Robotic
GPS Activated
Fully Automated
"Audio"Guided Tour System
Combining Customized Guided Tours Using GPS Navigation
Perfect For Gererating Additional Revenue Through Local Spot Advertising
 The Tour-Bot is a fully automated robotic GPS activated announcement system that easily mounts almost anywhere. It's rugged design is vibration resistant and it has been designed to operate continuously for many years. It can be easily installed in all types of vehicles including buses, trollies, boats and aboard aircraft, including helicopters and airplanes.The Tour-Bot's CD quality MP3 file narrations are stored on standard Compact Flash Cards. The audio announcements are triggered by the included GPS receiver "mouse." Your announcements play automatically as the Tour-Bot moves through GPS waypoints or geographical zones that you have pre-defined using our easy to use Tour-Bot Software!
The Tour-Bot can even recognize your direction of travel and will play the pre-programmed announcements accordingly. This permits you to travel the identical route in the opposite direction without activating the wrong announcement.
You can quickly update the Tour-Bot's announcements and GPS coordinates by replacing the Compact Flash Card or by using the optional Ethernet module.
The Tour-Bot does not have any moving parts and it takes advantage of state-of-the-art technology. A GPS "mouse" receiver continually updates the location of the vehicle/vessel/aircraft in five second increments. Activation parameters can be accurately set as close as 15 feet to any location. When the Tour-Bot finds a match in its memory for that location, it automatically plays the associated pre-recorded announcement. The waypoint parameters can also be quickly modified or enlarged so that you do not have to be within the exact waypoint for the message to be activated. Traffic detours can be adjusted for using the Tour-Bot software on any laptop or PC. The Tour-Bot does not need to follow a specific course, route, direction of travel, or follow a specific list or series of waypoints. It will still activate your announcements even if it enters your preset GPS waypoints in any randon order.

How Does the Voyager Series Robotic GPS Tour Guide System work?
The Voyager Robotic GPS Tour Guide is a system that monitors the real time position and direction of any moving object (tour bus, tour boat, cable car, helicopter, train, etc) by means of satellite communication.
By using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology the Voyager Robotic GPS Tour Guide plays pre-recorded audio announcements when it enters the immediate predefined proximity of a Point of Interest.
The Voyager Robotic GPS Tour Guide therefore acts as an Automated "Tour Guide" communicating interesting facts, history, advertisements and/or safety information in single or multiple languages when predetermined positions on the route are reached.
The Voyager Robotic GPS Tour Guide operates in any random order and it does not have to follow any specific route to activate the appropriate announcement.
The route that the vehicle/vessel/aircraft takes can hold many Points of Interest with matching audio announcements for each.
The system can effectively be customized for any object that can be in motion; therefore it can be installed on tour boats, cable cars, helicopters, trains, etc.
Voyager Robotic GPS Tour Guide's Standard Features:
 Safety information can be played routinely when the moving object reaches safety concerned areas. The Voyager Robotic GPS Tour Guide can be customized to communicate with passengers in multiple languages.Advertising information can be communicated between points of interest.The Voyager Robotic GPS Tour Guide can be customized for any business, making it an affordable and flexible system for any requirement.Announcements are stored on a removable memory cards in MP3 or u-law formats with the capacity for many hundreds of (POI) Points of Interest.CONTACT US REGARDING LEASE INFORMATION

The VOYAGER XD
A ROBOTIC GPS TOUR GUIDE
 The Voyager XD Robotic GPS Tour Guide combines a self-contained commercial grade audio player, a sophisticated computer program playlist, with an integrated GPS antenna. The Voyager XD automatically plays audio files based upon its proximity to specific locations or Points of Interest (POI). Each POI location is separately programmed by latitude, longitude and preset activation radius coordinates. The Voyager XD is extremely flexible in the way its audio files can be configured through its pre-programmable computerized playlist options.
Instructions in the form of automated playlists and the associated audio files are created in our studio which are then transferred and stored on the Voyager's media/memory card. The Voyager XD utilizes an XD to Smart Media Card Adapter (Max 128Mb) and stores audio in the industrial grade u-Law format, permitting the excellent audio quality of a WAV file at a substantially reduced file size similar to an MP3.
Applications:
Applications for this product include limited city bus routes, short bus tours, boat tours, helicopter or plane tours, tram rides and self-guided automobile tours, etc. Using our proprietary software, we can also configure the Voyager XD to provide driving directions for self-guided tours. An example of this is once the vehicle is within a specified radius of the POI to be viewed, it will automatically play the appropriate prerecorded message describing the POI, or describing, the next turn to take and any appropriate driving directions. Additionally, location based advertisements can be interspersed to provide an additional revenue stream, playing ads that are relevant to the device's current location.
The Playlist:
The Voyager XD's internal playlist file is stored on the memory card and can be easily and quickly changed by replacing the media card. The playlist program permits the Voyager XD to determine exactly which audio file is associated with each POI.
Announcements:
A circular zone is defined by programming specific latitude, longitude, and the activation radius. The file that corresponds to the predefined zone will only be played when the Voyager XD is inside the specified zone. The audio file can be set to (1) repeat continuously as long as the Voyager XD remains inside the zone, or (2) it can be set to play only once each time the zone is entered, or (3) it can be set to play only once, even if the Voyager XD leaves the zone and re-enters the specified zone again later. This is valuable if your tour follows the same roadway and passes near preset POIs while driving in the opposite direction. Note: Once a file has started playing, it will continue to play even after the unit has exited the specified zone.
Buttons:
There are only two buttons on the front of the Voyager XD. The left button is Skip/Repeat, and the right button is Start/Stop. If the Skip/Repeat button is pressed while an audio file is playing, that audio file will immediately stop playing and the Voyager XD will pause and wait for the next POI input command to be processed. The Voyager XD will act exactly as if it had reached the end of the prematurely halted audio file normally. If the Skip/Repeat button is pushed while no file is playing, the Voyager will "re-enable" all files inside that zone that have already played and would not otherwise play again unless you left and re-entered the current zone. Pressing the Start/Stop button will stop any audio file that is currently playing and it prevents the Voyager XD from playing any more audio files. The Voyager XD will remain stopped until the start/stop button is pressed again or the power is cycled.
Connections:
The Voyager XD Robotic GPS Tour Guide operates on 10 - 30 VDC power input with only 200 mA current draw. This is ideal for in-vehicle applications where 12 or 24 VDC is available and can be ordered with a cigarette style power cord. An optional AC adaptor is also available. Audio output is available at 8 ohms (to drive a small speaker directly) or 600 ohms impedance (suitable for input to an external audio amplifier or PA system). An external speaker can also be connected to the Voyager XD's (3) Watt audio output jack or an FM transmitter can be used to enable reception on a vehicle's FM radio. NOTE: The Voyager XD will usually require an audio amplifier to power the overhead speakers of a tour bus.
Background Audio:
A background music input jack is also provided standard on the Voyager XD. This allows music or other audio sources to be played when the Voyager XD is silent. When the Voyager XD triggers an audio message, the built-in digital volume controller will fade the background audio/music down and then it will play the selected message. After the message has finished playing, the background music will fade back up to its previous level and will resume playing. The (4) second fade in/fade out effect is a very gentle transition from background audio to message, and back again.
Multiple Units / Multiple Languages:
A Voyager XD Robotic GPS Tour Guide can also be configured as a Master Unit. A proprietary cable is used to connect the Master Voyager to any number of Voyager Slave units. Each Voyager XD Slave can store its own independent playlist and audio files in a different language. The Master Voyager XD unit sends simultaneous GPS position changes to each Voyager XD Slave unit. Practical uses for this include multiple language systems to connect with multiplexed hardwired headphone systems, and, wireless Bluetooth, RF or infrared modules.
Audio Capacity
The Voyager XD Robotic GPS Tour Guide has a maximum memory capacity of 128 Mb on its Smart Media Card. It requires files in the Micro-Law wav. format at 64 kbps. Therefore, this unit's storage capacity is not capable of handling large tours. It is more capable of small tours and uses such as parking lot trams at tourist attractions.
