✩ This augmented reality navigation app for pedestrians provides a hybrid interface, giving the user both a map view and an augmented reality view depending on the orientation of their device.
✩ The Augmented Reality view appears when the handset is moved to the vertical position.Navigation arrows are superimposed on the live view in real time.
✩ The Map View appears when the handset is moved to the horizontal position.Navigation information is displayed on a map

✩ This app is only as good as the inputs it gets from the sensors.Watch out for sensor accuracy problems, which are reported in a status bar that appears at the bottom of the screen.Also watch the compass wheel, which is displayed in the top left hand corner.Changes in the compass direction indicate magnetic interference if the change is not justified by a change in the orientation of the device.
✩ GPS is main tool used to determine location.Tests in London UK indicate that accuracy is usually around 10 to 20 metres.That means that the blue arrow may carry on pointing in the direction that you have been walking in when in fact it is time to turn.To try and mitigate this problem, the blue arrow flashes green when the device calculates that you are within 25 metres a turn, so watch out for this.
