Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a device of a global positioning system, and more particularly to a photographing device of a global positioning system, which allows routes planned by a user to be watched dynamically.

b) Description of the Prior Art

In an old time, people almost always uses a map set to find a route needed when looking for a road. However, not every road is provided with a road sign, and usually the road that is looked for is only a small alley; therefore, it will always waste a lot of time for the user to look up the map for finding the road. Furthermore, some area is not able to be shown in the map set.

In a modern time with such progressive technologies, people are starting to develop many electronic consumable products, and a primary electronic consumable product used to replace the old map set is a global positioning system which is a very convenience and precise electronic map compared to the old map set. In addition, many major electronic companies in markets, such as Panasonic, ASUS or E-TEN, have also started to produce the global positioning systems.

A preliminary global positioning system is not able to update its content information; therefore, the global positioning system cannot be aware of related information if there is update of a road sign or new construction of a road. Accordingly, the developing companies start to develop a global positioning system which is updatable and is provided with a voice function. This kind of global positioning system facilitates many drivers; especially that the new voice system allows the user to identify the routes without watching at a display screen, and also significantly improves driving safety.

Nevertheless, in using the aforementioned global positioning system, following problems and shortcomings actually exist to be improved.

When the user is employing the global positioning system, the routes that the user has driven by cannot be recorded nor can be watched at dynamically. Furthermore, although that global positioning system is provided with the voice assistance, some reliability is still in short of in terms of explicitness of marking, and there is no fun.

Accordingly, how to solve the aforementioned problems and shortcomings of the prior art is an aim of improvement with research and development by the present inventor and related vendors.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a photographing device of a global positioning system, wherein a side of a casing of the global positioning system is provided with a display screen, and an interior of the casing is formed with a holding space which is provided with a control circuit board having an access unit, a positioning and transmission unit, a computing unit and a battery unit. A pre-determined position on the control circuit board is provided with an electric connection assembly which is connected to a photographing device. Accordingly, when the photographing device of the global positioning system is used, the photographing device starts to shoot and record, as well as executes simultaneously with the positioning and transmission unit. In addition, data that has been shot and recorded by the photographing device is stored into a memory through the access unit. By the aforementioned technologies, the problems existing in the conventional global positioning system that the routes planned cannot be watched at dynamically and the routes that have been driven by cannot be watched at can be solved, thereby achieving the practicability and progressiveness that the routes planned can be watched at dynamically and the routes that have been driven by can be watched at.

To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
