## Increased Interest in “GPS” and “Mapping”

**Increased Interest in “GPS” and “Mapping”**
**among Japanese Consumers, due to**
**    ****Steady growth of car navigation market**
**    ****Emerging various applications in the personal security**
**       ****for children**
**    ****Wider practical use of Taxi Cab with car-navigation**
**           ****- ****Shopping assist, One-day-Care assist**** **
**             ****- ****Temporary ambulance car**

## Increased Better Understandings of

**Increased Better Understandings of**
**Importance with GNSS**
**among Japanese Ministries, based on**
**    ****Necessity of cost effective renewal for GIS Program**
**    ****Japanese E-911 Emergency Call with GPS positioning**
**           ****- ****Requiring enough GPS signal Availability in urban zones**** **
**             ****- ****Requiring QZSS with DOP improvement (better geometry)**
**    ****Effective Disaster Management with GNSS         **

## Significant Improvement of Availabilityin Urban areas by QZSS

**GPS only**

**GPS + QZSS**

**Showing Availability improvement per day**

**Notes:**
This is comparison of the time ratio of available areas for navigation.
As we can see by these results, by integrating QZSS, the ratio of available areas for navigation was also improved drastically compared with GPS-only case.The numerous areas show the blue side color.

##                 Remarkable improvement of DOP

**                ****Remarkable improvement of DOP**

## The Politicians move to making Act

**The Politicians move to making Act**
**    ****Established the Consulting Organ in March under **
**       ****the Liberal Democratic Party for making Principle Act **
**       ****for GNSS uses and Geo-Spatial Information Data**
**    ****Participants to the Organ :**
**          ****Politicians, Ministries, Localities, Academy,  **
**          ****Keidanren & QZSS Vehicle Co, and Industry Council **
**          ****(JGPSC)**
**    ****Now under making Concept of Principle Act**

**The Politicians move to making Act (cont’d)**
**    ****Goal with making Act**
**      ****(1)  Governmental assurance for reliability of GNSS**
**             ****utilization, by “QZSS + GPS”**
**      ****(2)  Acceleration of Geo-Spatial Information Data and**
**             ****related programs using “QZSS + GPS”**
**      ****(3)  To clarify the definition of the GNSS Positioning;**
**            “****Realtime location with accurate time information”**
**      ****(4)  Renewal to the accurate mapping information **
