Navigation Device Gives Directions, Teaches English

Navigation Device Gives Directions, Teaches English

By Jim Moscater on August 6, 2009

This week, South Korea saw the launch of Fine Digital’s FineDrive IQ, a GPS navigation device that provides an English Language trainer constructed on voice recognition software- so commuters can bone up on their English while entrenched in their daily trek to the office.

Digital Multimedia Broadcast (DMB) television, traffic alerts and audio/video playback are included as well. Although this isn’t available outside of South Korea, one could surely see this being an effective tool in any country for those who travel internationally or have a curiosity or need to learn a new language.
