OFFICIALS in China's largest prefecture in the far-western region of Xinjiang are requiring all drivers there to install a Chinese-made satellite navigation system in their vehicles, according to an official news report last week.

Police officials say drivers must install the navigation system by June 30. "The installation rate will reach 100 per cent," said a report on Monday on the website of The Korla Evening Post, a newspaper in the prefecture's capital, Korla. The report was also posted on the government-managed website of Beidou, the Chinese satellite navigation system. Beidou is China's version of the Global Positioning System, or GPS.
