FUJITSU TEN SALES LIMITED (Head office: Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, President and Representative Director: Yoshihiko Ono), sales subsidiary of FUJITSU TEN LIMITED (Head office: Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, President and Representative Director: Takashi Shigematsu) which develops the "ECLIPSE" car navigation brand, has produced "English ver./Chinese ver./Korean ver. of OKINAWA ROAD MAP for rental cars" in association with Okinawa Prefecture Rent-a-Car Association and Okinawa Convention & Visitors Bureau (Naha, Okinawa Prefecture).
In December 2010, we published the English version so that it can be helpful in improving the convenience of foreign tourists when they use rental cars, and it has been widely used. To meet various needs associated with an increase in the number of foreign tourists, Chinese version and Korean version have been newly added.
This road map can be used in linkage with "AVN133MRC," the quadrilingual (Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean) corporate model of the ECLIPSE "simple" and "easy-to-use" memory navigation system "AVN Lite." The road maps are distributed for use in car rental companies in Okinawa Prefecture free of charge(*1) from today, April 15, 2014.


Concepts

Currently, the government agencies and private sectors in Japan work together to proactively attract foreign tourists. The number of foreigners who visited Japan during the year of 2013 was the largest ever exceeding 10 million for the first time and the number of foreign tourists who visited Okinawa was also the largest ever exceeding 550,000.
As the modes of transportation for sightseeing in Okinawa, rental cars and buses are frequently used, and it is necessary to localize the car navigation systems and guide maps, etc. into foreigin languages.
From these backgrounds, in autumn 2010, we released the car navigation system for rental cars and corporations which supports English, having high cost performance, and published "English version of OKINAWA ROAD MAP for rental cars" by which recommended spots can be easily searched (in December 2010), thus we have gained a good reputation. We have prepared the Chinese and Korean versions to improve further convenience.
Moreover, if the car navigation system which has already supported Chinese and Korean in addition to English is used together with the guide map produced this time, these would help many foreign tourists.

  • Includes map codes for easy destination setting by car navigation system
