Abstract

A method for providing information in a terminal using the portable Internet is provided to maximize the efficiency of a memory by downloading a map for the present location through the portable Internet and to minimize a loss of data by providing information through the portable Internet without executing format conversion. If the user of a mobile terminal makes a request for a location information service, a control part controls a GPS part to receive a GPS signal from a GPS satellite(S301) and confirms the present location information of the mobile terminal(S303). Then the control part accesses a WiBro server through an RF part(S305). The control part downloads a map for the present location from the WiBro server, maps the present location onto the downloaded map, and displays it(S307,S309). Also the control part downloads extrinsic information according to the user's request and displays the downloaded extrinsic information(S311,S313). Then, if the user appoints a destination location(S315), the control part displays the optimum route from the present location to the destination location on the downloaded map(S315,S317).
