Voice guidance will guide you by distinguishing between left turn and right turn lanes. Since the GPS detection speed is slow, I am worried about the behavior that the position of the navigation changes one tempo behind the movement of the car, but if you keep in mind the unique habit, you can use the navigation function that is not much different from the commercially available navigation. ..

When you arrive at your destination, the data usage will be displayed on the screen along with the distance traveled and the required time. Naviro uses its unique 'Beeline Technology' to perform re-searching at the optimum frequency according to changes in traffic volume, thereby reducing the amount of data communication while using the app and realizing packet-saving communication related to re-searching. ... apparently ...



The information you search for as a destination is automatically saved with a honeycomb-shaped icon, so you can quickly access the places you often search for.



Occasionally, I saw a scene where the location information was not updated on the screen probably because I lost sight of GPS. Since the terminal heats up considerably during navigation guidance, it may have been a thermal runaway by placing it on the dashboard on a hot day.

The first alarm is issued about 1km before the speed control camera, and then when the distance is shortened, the distance to the camera is displayed and the alarm sound becomes louder, and when you pass the camera, you will be notified by a sound effect. Information such as the crackdown area and camera is constantly updated to the latest version, so the Orbis warning function seems to be very useful.

The maximum capacity set to 500MB by default can be changed to 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, or maximum (up to 70% of the remaining disk capacity).
