A navigation system is an electronic technology used to determine the exact location of a vehicle or person and provide instructions to get to a specific objective. It can be installed in cars, mobile phones or accessible on websites.
The main functions of a geo-navigation system are location determination, directions with suggestions for alternative routes, traffic information, display of points of interest such as petrol stations or hotels.
Within navigation systems, companies can publish specific adverts or business listings (e.g. Google Business Profile) that are located in certain geographical areas or near important locations, such as offices or retail outlets.
