(InfoWorld) - South Korea has made good on a promise to cooperate with the European Union on the latter'sÂ Galileo satellite navigation system. The two signed an agreement in Helsinki Monday that opens the door to South Korea's active participation in the program. The Asian nation could work with the EU on several areas including scientific research and training, industrial cooperation, trade and market development, standards, certification, and regulatory measures, the two parties said in a statement. Galileo is a EU-backed satellite navigation system that will provide a higher grade of service than the U.S. government's GPS (global positioning system). The EU has developed the system for commercial applications, unlike GPS which was developed primarily for military applications and doesn't come with any guarantee of continued availability for civilian use. Galileo will transmit signals that are compatible with GPS. A number of non-EU nations have signed on to the program. Cooperation agreements have been concluded with China, Israel, the U.S., Ukraine, India, and Morocco and others are in preparation, the EC said in June. Â

There have been plenty of ways to add Global Positioning System navigation to cars, but most require their own road map to set up. Either you'd need one directing you to the bank that might loan you money to buy one of those pricey built-in systems carmakers offer, or a guide walking you through a complicated process of loading separate maps covering distinct parts of the country on an aftermarket GPS unit.
