The vibrator works as an alarm to alert the user of the stick in hazardous situation. Meanwhile, the GPS assist in finding way. The objective of this project is to help blind persons face any dangerous situation and the GPS will make it easier for them to find a way of their destinations. By entering the address to the GPS system, the GPS is will assist them in finding the way to destination but is only limited to 10 km.
