Tripy II, much more than a GPS1.

Does a GPS represent the perfect guide for unforgettable rides?

Have you ever imagined creating your next road ride on a Tourist or Topographic digital map ?

Did you think possible the creation of a beautiful off-road ride based on a digital topographic map, or

even prepare your utmost adventurous raids on foreign exotic maps ?

You dreamed about it. Tripy did it !

Tripy II is a unique combination of a GPS and digital road book player/recorder designed to enjoy unfor-

gettable rides and create exclusive itineraries.

Tripy II concepts2.

Preliminary2.1.

The Tripy II GPS is a stand alone navigation system allowing the computation of an A-to-B itinerary and

displaying the itinerary in a traditional fashion as a scrolling map on its screen.

Nothing revolutionary, and pretty common to all GPS’es on the market. Tripy stands out when it comes

to riding the nicest rides in the optimal safety conditions considering its ease of use (readability, speed

to grasp a concise information, battery autonomy, no intrusive and boring voice prompting, a.s.o....).

Indeed, Tripy offers a unique type of display we call « electronic road book ». The « road book » type of

display is the most relevant for usage on bike, quad, as well as in cars and off road vehicles as it requi-

res far less attention and glancing time. This « subliminal guiding » is a non intrusive solution liberating

the pilot from tiring vocal prompting (even more tiring as it is used on small roads where frequent mes-

sages are given).

The Tripy II GPS allows you to:

allow you to enhance your itineraries with comments and pictograms displayed on the Tripy II GPS

as you go along, print a paper version of your road book, display your trace on GoogleMAP/Earth™

and much more,

In short, with the Tripy II GPS, the road matters as much as the destination.

Wandering and wondering without worrying, is now an accessible luxury !

Paper road book & electronic road book2.2.

What’s a road book?a.

The road book is the set of instructions (typically on paper) allowing to follow a pre-deﬁned itinerary.

Road books sophistication and their reading accessories widely differ according to the application: one

day tourism, multiple days tours, off road rides, rally’s and raids.

The simplest road book is the list of towns, often hand written with the road numbers you have sticked

over your road map.

Commonly, the road book will indicate a simpliﬁed navigation pattern, using symbolised sequential

direction changes combined with millage indications (partial and total). The typical road book handed

over at the start of an organised tour (club or other organisation).

The road book is ideal to deﬁne an itinerary. It offers an accurate representation of each direction

change and provides also other added value information such as touristic, danger areas (tricky road

bend, gravel, a.s.o....), sightseeing points, quality inn’s, a.s.o...

Limiting the use of the traditional paper road book: without a co-pilot, it is difﬁcult to read while driving;

it is not resisting the weather conditions encountered by bikers and quad riders; the measured millage

is sometimes inaccurate; having gone astray, it is difﬁcult to return to the initial itinerary.

Tripy has combined the advantages of the paper road book with the GPS technology to offer a unique

system: the digital road book.
