○ The AR screen and arrow direction navigation show the direction of the desired facility (on smartphones and tablets equipped with an electronic compass).
○ It provides easy-to-understand search results for nearby facilities based on the current location (blue marble) and the search center location (orange marble).
- Use the "current" button in the upper right to move to your current location. - Use the "center" button in the upper part to set the center of the map to the search center.
- Information is easy to understand because the search results for shops and facilities from the current location or the search center are displayed in order of proximity.
- You can grasp the information around the current location or any specified search center by using it to add the desired shop or facility to your favorites more accurately.
- For example, in a TV gourmet special, if you enter "@○○ station" in the search window beforehand for "○○ station area information!" and move the search center to the vicinity of ○○ station, you can easily find the desired shop by searching by name and adding it to your favorites.
〇 By using the detail button, you can access information about shops or facilities and easily search for details using keywords related to those shops or facilities.
