Abstract

The present invention is a direction indication device of a global positioning system which is composed of a host having a voice device and a display panel. An exterior of the display panel is enclosed with a cover, a proper position on which is installed with an indication unit including at least one illumination element. Each illumination element represents a direction indication. An interior of the host also includes a navigation module which produces a navigation signal and a direction indication module which produces an indication signal on the indication unit. After the direction indication module has received the navigation signal, the illumination element representing the direction will produce light to represent the direction indicated by the navigation signal, such that a driver can be indicated with the direction on the display panel without watching at the global positioning system.

Claims

1. A direction indication device of a global positioning system, with that global positioning system comprising a host, an exterior of which is enclosed with a cover, and an interior of which is provided with a navigation module that produces a navigation signal;

a proper position at the exterior of the cover being provided with an indication unit, an interior of the host being provided with a direction indication module which is connected to the navigation module by a signal, and that direction indication module producing an indication signal that is displayed on the indication unit, according to the navigation signal.

2. The direction indication device of a global positioning system, according to claim 1, wherein the indication unit includes at least one illumination element, with one illumination element being separated with another illumination element by a proper spacing.

3. The direction indication device of a global positioning system, according to claim 2, wherein after the indication unit has received the indication signal, the illumination element produces light which is further a flash.

4. The direction indication device of a global positioning system, according to claim 1, wherein the navigation signal produced by the navigation module is shown on a display panel.
