Naver announced on the 14th that it has added various features to enhance driver convenience by strengthening the provision of parking and business information around destinations in the Naver Map application (app) and improving the 'Driving Analysis' page.
This update began on the 9th and will be distributed sequentially until the 14th. Users can access the new features by updating the Naver Map app to the latest version.
The updated Naver Map navigation provides additional information about destinations to enhance driver convenience. If there are no parking spaces at the set destination, it will provide advance notice and allow users to easily and quickly search for nearby parking lots. It offers not only parking fee information but also enables parking reservations and payments all in one go for a more convenient parking experience.
Additionally, a feature has been added to inform users in advance about the business status of the location based on the estimated arrival time. If the destination is expected to close or have a break time at the arrival time, or if it is closed, the system will notify the driver in advance to reduce unnecessary travel.
The 'Driving Analysis' page, where drivers can check their driving habits, has also been enhanced. With this update, users can view changes in their driving scores on a weekly and monthly graph, and when using Naver Map navigation for more than 10 kilometers over the past four weeks, they can compare their driving scores and habits with the averages of other drivers.
Jung Kyung-hwa, leader of Naver Map, said, 'Naver Map navigation continues to expand essential features for drivers, such as recommended lanes, recommended entrances, and lane information,' and 'We will continue to provide timely information necessary for navigation users and strive to create a safer driving environment.'
