There was a time when people read the stars to navigate, but in the recent years it has become easier than ever — simply take a smartphone, turn on its satellite navigation system and follow along the route it gives you. But did you know how the first navigation systems looked?

The very first navigator came out in 1920 and was called Plus Fours Routefinder. The device itself looked like a watch and came with maps that one had to manually move.

In just 10 years another navigation system of a new generation was released — Iter-Auto. Its main difference from Plus Fours Routefinder was that the map would automatically move and the moving mechanism did so to match the speed of the car. However, once the driver went off road, new maps had to be loaded and the current position established from scratch…

In 1985 the world witnessed the birth of a more familiar-looking device to what we have nowadays. Surely enough its processing power wasn’t sufficient to watch movies and listen to music, but it did what it was meant for. The maps for the system were stored on tape cassettes.

Navibration Experiences is a new chapter in the development of navigation systems. This project is set to realize a new way of navigation, with no maps, with no need to look at any device, and combined with the first decentralized social media platform that will make travelling with audioguides all over the world possible! The entire social platform of Navibration Experiences will be built on blockchain — audioguides will automatically locate the listener in any place in the world and offer voiced routes suggested by the platform users. By the way, users will be rewarded for creating interesting routes. By the way, for creating interesting routes users will be rewarded. Want to learn more?
