Six percent of all deaths in this country are caused by road accident fatalities. This is an alarming fact despite our authorities bragging about the decreased road accident deaths over the past few years and the safety standard of cars has improved dramatically. Global Positioning System (GPS) to be one of the alternatives that could help in decreasing the accidents. Popular GPS system for navigation like Waze, PapaGo implemented some of the features which give warning if the car exceeding speed limit in long straight road. Hence, these existing systems are provide alternatives to reduce the percentage of car accident by giving alert to slow down the car which can prevent the drivers over speed that lead to accidents. To minimize the accidents rate in this country, this project will develop a GPS application which provides “buzz” sound as alertness to tell the drivers that there are dangerous corner ahead. This feature will also come out with the adaptable user-friendliness features according to the context surrounding the drivers in giving the suggestions to the closest emergency places by only refresh the list of the place rather than type the name of the places.
