Added value for the cycling tourist
The facilities provided by the navigation system and the map plans for enjoyment of the trails, thanks to the GPS satellite navigation device linked to satellite geographic maps and the audio-visual multimedia guide with Bluetooth earphones, ensuring that the cycling tourist will benefit from a series of information and distinctive options, distinguish the quality and originality of this system:
  • visual textual information on the characteristics of the chosen trail (route length, type of surface, grade of difficulty, etc.);
  • precise audio-visual directions and route signs on the way to go during progress along the route;
  • visual directions from the satellite photographic map and also the scenery and neighbouring buildings along the route for any stopping places and detours outside the itinerary, as freely chosen by the cycling tourist;
  • audio-visual route signs and directions and text on the environmental and cultural assets at sites along the route and shown on the navigator map, called POI (places of interest);
  • possibility of removing the device from its support bracket on the bicycle for use while on foot, perhaps within an architectural asset or a nature site that the cycle tourist intends to visit;
  • possibility of identifying departure and arrival points in each of the involved municipalities and every POI on their territory with the trail routes and/or every firm belonging to the Product Club, called POST with the trails shown;
  • consequential possibility of starting along the chosen trail to reach the nearest POI to your own position or to the departure POST;
  • possibility of identifying and reaching the nearest POST to your position for any necessity or emergency while following a route;
  • possibility of following along old roads, either asphalted or not, very often out of use or not properly signposted and exploited for their historic or cultural significance, as for example the roads of Roman origin that connected stationes, mantiones and vilae to Aquileia and – through the principal arteries – to the other urban centres of the time, or like those used in the Middle Ages by Christian pilgrims on their European travels towards Aquileia and the Holy Land;
  • possibility of arriving in areas and sites of natural or historical worth, otherwise difficult to reach, and “directly” deepening understanding the culture of the territory, taking home unforgettable impressions and images;
  • use of the local cycle path network for travelling safely along major traffic arteries.
