It is the first car navigation system where aerial imagery is implemented as a realistic 3D navigation map with all map attributes. Using the database of aerial imagery, "Sky Cruise View" can indicate the current car position and trace the car movement in real-time via an on board GPS. In addition the "Sky Cruise View" provides route guidance and Point of Interest placement. "Sky Cruise View" can be displayed on split screens, can change map scales and angle of view continuously, and can scroll or turn around freely. The same familiar digital maps user interface, feel and use are implemented in the new "Sky Cruise View". "Sky Cruise View" supports 13 major Japanese cities.
Isaac Levanon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FlyOver, stated, "Kenwood's latest car navigation system is a vote of confidence in the commercializing value of FlyOver technology to enhance drivers' navigation experience. We overcame major technical barriers to provide smooth continues movements over the 3D image. It enables FlyOver to offer car navigation providers the benefit to integrate FlyOver technology without redesigning their hardware, hence reducing both cost and time to market."

U.S. Army Adds Inxight Star Tree Visual Navigation to its Hyperwave Knowledge Management System
By Anonymous SANTA CLARA, Calif. - March 6, 2002 - The U.S. Army has improved the ability of its computer users and information analysts to quickly navigate large-scale databases with the addition of Star Tree™ visual navigation from InxightŌ Software. Integration of Star Tree into the Army’s Hyperwave IS/6 knowledge management platform was done by Kanda Software of Concord, Mass.
“This is a great example of how two complementary technologies can be integrated to take the whole category to a new level,” said Ramana Rao, Inxight’s chief technology officer. “Hyperwave offers an extremely powerful platform for managing huge volumes of data in many different file types and formats, but the larger the knowledgebase the greater the challenge for the user to find the best possible information. Star Tree is the perfect addition to Hyperwave as it lets users navigate graphically instead of using text commands, which is more natural and has been shown to cut navigation time by more than 60 percent. In addition, the integration done by Kanda is truly seamless.”
Star Tree is Inxight’s proven technology technique for visualizing and navigating large hierarchies of information. Users can quickly view and intuitively understand relationships by simply clicking or dragging the nodes on an interactive tree diagram. It is easy to focus on areas of interest while maintaining a sense of that area's relationship to other information in the tree. By visually communicating multiple levels of information in a single view, Star Tree users can quickly see and understand entire Web sites, information directories, catalogs, organization charts and large document collections.
The Hyperwave solution is a collaborative knowledge management system that allows the creation and access of information anywhere in the extended enterprise. The Hyperwave eKnowledge Infrastructure consists of three principal products that can be implemented as an individual or multiple solution: the eKnowledge Suite, the eKnowledge Portal and the eLearning Suite.
Together, these technologies allow users to correlate information from multiple formats such as documents, images, charts, graphs, and tables and to navigate them based on their associations to one another. Star Tree creates a visual information navigation system that will help improve the discovery and handling of extensive and constantly changing data in Army’s databases. Faster and more intuitive data navigation will translate into faster and better decision making by the information analysts and other military personnel.

Good Web Design: The Importance of Navigation
By Debra Bellmaine A well-designed website has many facets: gorgeous graphics, cool I review many sites every week. A confused or non-existent When considering the best navigation plan for your website, Home Some of the headings listed above may be further subdivided, Your site will, no doubt, have pages that don't really need to Additionally, your site may have some nice feature that should In a nutshell, your website's navigation should consider the If the answer is not "Yes," your website's navigation needs some Debra Bellmaine is President of Bellmaine Associates (http://www.bellmaineassociates.com), a web design & development firm providing website solutions for small and medium-size businesses.

Another important feature, often overlooked, is a good, solid
navigation scheme.
method of finding the content contained within the site is a
clear indicator of a budget or home-grown site. A well-designed
website is a great equalizer—who would know that your company
has only 5 staff when your website is slick and your customers
can find your products with ease? On the other hand, a site
that makes finding the order page a hunt for buried treasure,
will urge the visitor to leave your site and buy elsewhere.
Minimally, it sends a strong signal that your company is
unprofessional, and purchasing from you could be risky.
first make a list of the most important, or highest-level,
divisions of your site's content. For example, if your site
promotes your services, plus sells a product, has helpful
information and articles, and provides a demo of a product or
service, you may want to arrange your menu with these main

your site may have a "Search" function that is useful for
visitors to find specific products or information. In this case,
put the Search field and button at the top of the page, perhaps
embedded in the banner area. Make it visible! Don't bury it two
thirds down the page, where your visitor will see it after
they've already spent 10 minutes looking for what they are
trying to find.

site easily and intuitively find their way around the site? Will
that visitor feel comfortable moving around on your site? Can
they find the Home page again? Is your contact information

Most importantly, can the visitor quickly and easily locate the
product and/or services you are selling?

may not be a huge project. And reworking the menu and navigation
may be just what your website needs to communicate the
professionalism and quality for which your business should be
known.
