[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Thinkware announced on the 7th that it will conduct a regular upgrade of the iNavi electronic map.

The route information for 43 highways, national roads, provincial roads, and general roads has been updated, including newly opened or changed road information in 24 cities, counties, and districts nationwide, as well as newly established locations such as the ‘Songtan Drowsy Rest Area’, ‘Seongnam-Gwangju Ibaejai Tunnel Road Expansion Construction’, and the ‘Opening of the 19km section of Hwayang-Jeokgeum Sections 1 to 4’.

For 3D landmarks, which implement actual buildings within the navigation map using 3D modeling techniques, about 10 major landmarks nationwide have been reflected, including ‘Wonju Korea Mineral Resources Corporation’, ‘Yesan Rest Area’, and ‘Hwaseo Rest Area’. By applying 3D rendering to representative buildings in cities, counties, and districts nationwide, the visual accuracy and realism of the iNavi electronic map have been enhanced. Recently added or changed points of interest such as large marts and schools, as well as various thematic information, have also been updated.

Thinkware conducts regular electronic map upgrades six times a year, every two months.

A Thinkware representative said, “We continuously provide drivers with accurate routes and road information according to the ever-changing road conditions and maintain the highest level of map quality,” adding, “We are striving to improve driver satisfaction by providing the latest map information.”
