The portable electronic devices on the market do not integrate multiple functions to enhance their competitiveness. In addition to the general camera, call and Internet functions, the Global Positioning System (GPS), electronic maps and navigation systems are now available. Integrated in the handheld communication device. In addition, car computers or car navigation devices equipped with electronic maps and navigation software are also becoming popular. Users can take control of their location by GPS or other positioning methods anytime and anywhere, and also use the navigation system planning and guidance to find the best route to get to the destination quickly and safely.

GPS是結合衛星與無線通訊的一種定位技術,其能提供精確的定位、速度及時間資訊,而電子地圖則可與GPS結合,提供使用者了解其目前所在位置與目的地位置的相對關係。其中,使用者先將電子地圖載入手機、個人數位助理、個人數位助理手機、車用電腦或車用導航裝置等電子裝置中,再藉由電子裝置的觸碰螢幕或鍵盤等輸入裝置,選擇或輸入所欲前往之目的地或是興趣點(Point Of Interest, POI),電子裝置即會在電子地圖上顯示這些興趣點的位置。GPS is a positioning technology that combines satellite and wireless communication to provide accurate positioning, speed and time information, while electronic maps can be combined with GPS to provide users with a sense of their current location and destination location.
