What is the penetration rate of car navigation systems in the world?
Now it is also mounted on motorcycles.
I think there are a lot of cars in the world.
I got my driver’s license in 1985.
The car I bought from a friend for the first time was ¥30,000-, of course, had no car navigation system.
In 1989, when I became a member of society, I joined a department store and loaded up my car during the busy season to go around.
I struggled with a map with one hand in an area without a sense of land.
After dark at night, I can’t forget that I ran on a map with a flashlight to find the school or police box that was my target.
When was the first time I loaded a car navigation system into my car?
Map data was in the age of CD-ROM.
I think it was a 15 cm x 20 cm enclosure.
Since it takes time to re-search the route, I was in trouble when I made a mistake on the route and the car navigation system announced “Please back” on the highway.
The GPS accuracy was low, and the mark indicating my position was running smoothly over Tokyo Bay.
Now it’s smaller, cheaper, and more accurate.
It is difficult to get GPS information in bad weather or in a place surrounded by tall buildings, but there is no problem under the blue sky.
At the beginning of Heisei, I could not imagine the convenience so far.
Recently, I haven’t had a chance to drive a long distance.
I would like to drive to an unknown land, relying on a car navigation system.
See you soon.
