Mobile Phones Morphing Into “Star Trek” Scanning Devices


New GPS Technology from Japan
Spreading Around the World!

Boyé Lafayette De Mente


The world’s leading developer and maker of global positioning systems has come up with technology that works on mobile phones, encompasses all modes of transportation systems, including walking, and is ten times faster than other systems already on the market.

Keisuke Onishi, president of Navitime Japan Company, and his team of researchers completed Total Navigation, the world’s first navigation system covering every possible means of transportation, in 1998.

The company’s technology then went into taxis and was adopted by the Japan Automobile Federation as the core of its rescue service for motorists having mechanical trouble.

Now, the technology is showing up in mobile phones in China, Germany, the U.S., Taiwan and Thailand, and is expected to sweep around the world. This is another major step in mobile phones being transformed into the kind of scanning devices used on Star Trek.
