| DENSO, which launched its first navigation system
in 1987, is one of the few companies in the world that develops car
navigation systems and supplies them toautomakers worldwide. DaimlerChrysler,
Jaguar, General Motors, Toyota and Ford all buy navigation systems
from DENSO for factory installation. |
| |
| DENSO provides navigation systems with advanced functions
such as the industry’s fastest map scrolling and route searching,
three-dimensional displays, built-in Web browser, and voice recognition
function available for a number of languages. It also provides navigation
systems with minimum functions to meet a variety of user needs. |
| |
| Exhibits are a worldwide car navigation system applicable
to many languages, and an entry level car navigation system developed
with minimum functions at low cost. |
| |
Worldwide Car Navigation System:
| DENSO provides worldwide car navigation
systems: |
 |
|
For each country by setting DVD discs storing
map data, and software corresponding to each country; |
|
|
With a voice guidance function selectable from
eleven languages including Japanese, British English, American
English, Spanish, German, French, Spanish, and Chinese; and |
|
|
With automatic operation using voice recognition
selectable from three languages, Japanese, British English,
and American English. |
|
| |
Entry Level Car Navigation
System:
| DENSO’s entry level car navigation
system has the following features of: |
|
|
Easy operation with a simple design of operational
keys and touch switches; |
|
|
Lowered price by adopting a compact disc for
map data and making a TV tuner optional; and |
|
|
Pinpoint retrieval using Mapcode, a location
code DENSO devised in 1997 (see Mapcode information in this
press kit). |
|
| |
| DENSO also developed NAVISTANT, a product that enables
handheld Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to be used as car navigation
systems. The NAVISTANT package, released in April 2002, includes a
sensor unit, global positioning system (GPS), antenna and software. |
| |
| Car navigation systems will play an increasingly
important role as multipurpose information terminals in vehicles as
they melt with entertainment, ETC, Mayday capabilities, mobile telephone
and other new functions. DENSO aims to create such multifunctional
car navigation by integrating a range of its technologies and expertise
in car navigation, body electronics and telecommunications. |
