Global Positioning System in Korea

Yup, today I am going to introduce a very advance system which I discovered here, as known as GPS (Global positioning system) navigation system. frankly, I am quite impressed with this technology as well. Therefore, this post would be a “tech” post. Don’t worry; I am just making a quick and simple introduction for this system [for those interested]. Hiak!

The main purpose of navigation system is to guide driver to their chosen destination. Feature such as Point to Interest (POI), traffic avoidance etc also included in this SUPER system. You may enter destination information [like how you type “thing” search in google], it searches for the destination location via any line of address together with estimated time to reach. Those controls should be tailored for use whist driving. Complete touch screen operation is ideal for reducing attention taken from the road.

The GPS navigation systems also provide voice guidance features which increase yours confidence in the product and help keep eyes on the road. You should be possible to follow the route by using just the voice instruction. In addition, you should be able to take a diversion without having to manually update information. That means, the device would adapt to the new route and would not resort to instructing the user to turn around.

This GPS navigation monitor also supports plug into car audio system for playing cd/dvd/mp3 which means the one sitting next to you can watch movies and play games.
