In Korea, telematics is regarded as the the IT839 Strategy to help the IT industry develop new technology to enhance and make everyday-driving technologies (MIC, 2004). The IT839 Strategy is a plan experience more comfortable and safer. An essential part for activating eight services (WiBro, DMB, Home of the telematics is navigation and it is mainly based on Network, Telematics, RFID, W-CDMA, Terrestrial GPS as the choice of positioning technology. The Digital TV, VoIP), implementing three infrastructures accuracy of GPS, however, is approximately ten to (Broadband Convergence Network, Ubiquitous Sensor twenty meters. Combining with map-matching Network, IPv6), and developing nine new growth engines technologies, most navigation systems guide drivers with (Next-Generation Mobile Communications, Digital TV, a best effort manner. In addition to telematics, RFID Home Network, IT SoC, Next-Generation PC, Embedded (Radio Frequency Identification) is an old but newly SW, Digital Contents, Telematics, Intelligent Service emerged technology. In this paper, we incorporate RFID Robot). Telematics is one of the eight new services and technology into a navigation system to improve the also one of the nine new growth engines i
