V. Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to mobile communication technology, and in particular to a mobile communication device with GPS function. With the privatization of telecommunications services, it has directly driven the popularity of mobile phones. In today's mobile communication systems, the GSM (GlnhiH Svstem for Mobile Communications) system is the most common. The mobile phones held by the clients in mobile communication are mainly equipped with the function of receiving and making calls. Since the mobile recitation system can only confirm that the user is currently in a certain hive, and cannot determine the actual location of the user, this error recitation can often reach about two kilometers. Therefore, it is impossible to provide users with the relevant telecommunications in the nearby areas based on the user's exact location. But, right, using GPS (Global Position System) to obtain data ’also depends on the user ’s animal to load the relevant information. Similarly, users cannot get the latest information in real time. _ Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication device with a GPS function, which combines a wireless transceiver and a GPS receiver into a single system or integrated in a single device to provide users with navigation, such as navigation. j.
