GPS is actually a shortened term for a global positioning system, and it is described to be a GNNS or global navigation satellite system that is basically made up of a network of satellites placed into an orbit. GPS is now recognized as a very important part of technology, for its function is made into a device that has the capability to receive and gather information from the GPS satellites and eventually calculate the geographical position of the device. This particular device that is designed to have such function is typically called as a GPS receiver, a GPS navigation device, or simply as GPS. The GPS navigation device is already recognized as the most popular device that is being used by the people, especially the drivers, for it can help them reached their supposed destination in a fast and easy way. The GPS function can also be installed or downloaded on a mobile device, such as mobile phones or tablets, for it is turned into software that is downloadable and free of charge. Some of the various function of the GPS navigation device includes indicating the paths or roads available, the different options to drive on back roads or highway, alternative routes and traffic congestion, available roads or paths that can be taken to get to their desired destination, the best route to take if the road is currently busy, the shortest and the faster route between two locations, and the details of the location of the driver’s or passenger’s places of interest, such as airports, hotels, food or restaurant, banks, and gas stations. The specific uses of the GPS navigation devices are to serve as maps, traffic congestion maps, information on nearby amenities, and turn-by-turn navigation directions.
One of the common causes of road accidents is driver distraction, especially when they are using the GPS navigation device. Fortunately, there is a company that wanted to provide them with a great solution that can help them avoid such occurrence, and that is by developing a GPS screen blanking software and program with the primary function to automatically remove the drivers from getting distracted. Their product is actually designed as one application for two different environments with three basic options, and some of its components include the built-in GPS, motion sensor, as well as, external GPS antenna. The screen options of their product include a motion app, which typically fills the whole screen with applications that are pre-designated especially when the motor vehicle or car is moving or in motion and it also allows the attributes for individual motion; the motion desktop, which basically blocks out the screen when the vehicle or the user is in motion and they can also choose or select any graphic to be displayed on their screen; and the lock screen, in which it locks the input of the user and it also enables the current screen to be seen while the vehicle is also in motion. Their licensing options include a non-expiring license for the length of support, one-time registration, and hosted by IPC with a perpetual license.
