A unique ‘sat nav’ system is helping pupils at Sutton Valence School near Maidstone, Kent reach new heights of achievement in the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
This year, 180 pupils are testing themselves to the limit with outdoor expeditions and new physical and sporting challenges, as well as learning new skills.
More than 100 of them are on track to complete the scheme by the end of the year, earning 16 Gold awards, 25 Silvers and 60 Bronzes, an outstanding record for the school.
All participants have to take part in outdoor expeditions, with those aiming for their Gold award spending four nights and five days trekking and camping in the Lake District.
But thanks to the technically creative talent of former pupil Balazs Janko and the school’s IT department, even if they get lost, staff always know where the group are!
Upstart Berlin developers rock the billion pound navigation industry with the release of skobbler, a new sat nav concept that will change the way we navigate forever.
Berlin, Germany, June 2010 – skobbler is teaming up with the iPhone and OpenStreetMap communities to make expensive sat nav and costly, out of date map updates a thing of the past. The iPhone 3G and 3GS compatible sat nav app skobbler is available to download for FREE at the UK App Store now.
The skobbler concept has already sent shockwaves throughout the established navigation industry with competitors across Europe and US drastically cutting their prices to try and divert attention away from what is bound to be ‘the future of sat nav’. And with good reason: skobbler navigation hit the No.1 spot in the US navigation app charts just last week and has been the best-selling navigation app in Germany for more than six months.
