24.5.2008 - Eriadne at Outdoor days, Riva del Garda, Italy

24th May 2008 we will present Eriadne together with Giscover partner to the first ever Italian meeting dedicated entirely to outdoor sports in Riva del Garda, Italy.

Meet us, we'll wait for your coming.

How to let know your friends you are using Eriadne ?

Some time people ask us how do Eriadne can be used in prevention of possible incidental events. The answer is to let know your family and friends that you are using Eriadne together with the email you used to register into Eriadne project.

To help you in this and to help us to spread Eriadne we prepared a small shop where you can find T-shirts, caps and pins.

14.5.2008 - BandAdriatica in Rotta per Otranto

We are amazed every day on how people find Eriadne suitable for varied needs. This one made us smile and we would like to share with all of you the particular project of BandAdriatica with 15 musicians who are navigating the Adriatico sea with a sailing ship.
They will be using Eriadne to track the ship and let us follow them in this journey.

Some numbers:
400 miles
5 concerts
one travel
one film

We thank Ovidio Venturoso and Claudio Prima and wish all of the Band great success.......In culo alla balena !!

12.2.2008 - Notified first real rescue case

Is with great surprise that we received the call of Claudio, and expert paraglider, notifying us that he could get out of a trouble with Eriadne after falling in a mountain area with 60-100cm of snow.

Here some pictures, and here his story:

(in the picture a rescuer of REGA dropped with helicopter)

Sono caduto alle 14:00 e dopo aver telefonato a mia moglie e a 2 miei amici che conoscevano la zona, avevano già visto il mio tracciato su Eriadne e sapevano dove ero.
Alle 15:05 ho tolto il Parapendio dal Larice e comunicato con cellulare che partivo a piedi, ma non sapevo ancora se risalire o scendere.

Durante il cammino verso il fondo Valle alle 15:50 non ricevevo più il segnale GSM, non potevo vedere quanto segnale rimaneva perché avevo messo il telefono e il ricevitore GPS nella tasca superiore della mia tuta in quanto a volte sprofondavo fino alla vita.

Dopo 2h e 30 di cammino con il mi sacco da 18 Kg ero stanco e fradicio, la notte si avvicinava (17:33) ed ho deciso di guardare se avevo il segnale, avendo un piccolo segnale che veniva e andava ho mandato le coordinate con Eriadne a mia moglie e di chiamare l'elicottero alle 17:56.

La REGA è arrivata alle 18:45 e mi hanno prelevato con il verricello.

Chiesto poi alla Rega se erano giuste le coordinate per trovarmi, mi hanno risposto che erano giuste e che non hanno avuto problemi per trovarmi (valle Stretta e boschiva)

Many thanks to Claudio.

Eriadne 1.2.5 base feature video explained

Presenting Eriadne with few words on a newspaper or on official website is different and because of new technologies involved it has less impact than than showing it with a real phone. So we made this little video that shows almost all you can do with Eriadne on your mobile and trough www.eriadne.org. (Since YouTube video may lack of quality you may download better quality AVI file of about 40Mb)

Sit down and enjoy !
