Sat Nav Alert for Townships in South Africa

Here at Zintech we are currently in the process of developing an early warning alert system which will help tourists avoid driving through Townships and informal settlements in South Africa. Whilst some of the townships are safe to visit as part of a guided tour, tourists are advised not to travel through these areas especially during the night. Following the tragic death of Anni Dewani recently in the township of Gugulethu we have had customers requesting if the sat nav can be programmed to avoid these areas. Whilst it is not currently possible to program the sat nav to avoid these areas our alert system will at least give drivers an advanced warning that they are approaching a township. Once the system is available all of our South African sat nav devices will be installed with these alerts. This will give drivers an audio and visual warning that they are within a certain distance from a settlement and allow them to change their route accordingly. We hope to have this available in early 2011.
