Our goals:
‐ Use our «state of the art» as a rich and useful information database;
‐ Think a new project of accessible itineraries developing innovativeideas:
1. tematic itineraries in the historical town, including architecture, enogastronomic culture, history
2. independent visiting
3. devices for mobility and comprehension
4. GPS smart device with dedicated software (e.g., NADIA GPS navigation system)

TEACHINGNADIA GPS navigation system
The NADIA GPS navigation system is ahighly innovative system, promoted byASI and developed by Thales AleniaSpazio with the coordination of theBritish Maritime Technology, thatcombines satellite signals from specificinformation service centers. Then, in theNADIA GPS navigation system the normalsatellite maps have been integrated withdetailed city maps that indicate, e.g.,whether there are sidewalks too highalong the way, steps without ramps,potholes and general architecturalbarriers that can make the path bumpyfor those who moves in a wheelchair orin the dark.
The NADIA interface
TEACHING
NADIA is designed to exploit the newgeneration of satellites that ensureaccuracy and reliability in the spatiallocation not guaranteed by the normalGPS system. This performance isachievable, however, with EGNOS (thesystem of geostationary satellites forthe improvement of GPS) andespecially with the Galileo constellationof 30 satellites which, when completed,will represent the flagship of Europeanspace policy in terms of navigation andtelecommunications.
The Galileo satellite constellation system
NADIA GPS navigation system
TEACHING
NADIA has another unique aspect: usersare not only receivers but also activeparts, since they can report to the centralsystem incidental barriers or obstaclesnot foreseen on the way, updating mapsat the same time. This is a method ofreviewing contents that follows theconcepts of Web 2.0.
The ability of users to communicate withthe NADIA system, also allows them tosend requests for assistance, if necessary.
