However, is the Beidou map we are talking about really Beidou navigation? Is there a relationship between the two? China Beidou system scientist Chen Ying said that in fact, the Beidou map APP has nothing to do with the Beidou satellite navigation system! Li Donghang, China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, also said that the Beidou map actually marked the Beidou system, so as to enhance its popularity and produce certain advertising effects.
Beidou satellite system is a satellite navigation system independently developed and operated by China. Together with GLONASS of Russia, Galileo of the European Union and GPS of the United States, it is the fourth largest satellite navigation system in the world. However, the Beidou application we are talking about is actually equivalent to Baidu map, Gaode map and Google map. This is a software. Beidou APP is to show the specific location, not to let people plan the route and ease the traffic jam. The most important core is that Beidou APP provides maps and Beidou satellite system provides specific locations.
Here we use a simple example to illustrate. For example, if you walk ahead, the Beidou system can tell you where there is an obstacle ahead, but I don't know whether it is a telephone pole, a puddle or something else. But the Beidou map can tell you what is ahead.
In addition, the most important point is that not only the Beidou satellite system can be used for the Beidou map, but also Baidu, Altitude and Google Maps, which has nothing to do with which map software you use. At present, Huawei, an ace mobile phone made in China, supports Beidou system on some models. Of course, there will definitely be more versions of mobile phones that can support the Beidou system in the future, which is excellent for national information security.
Finally, I would like to remind you that sometimes you should not be confused by the performance name, because owning Beidou is not necessarily the Beidou satellite system!
