Chinese officials say the country's homegrown satellite navigation system, Beidou, is starting to come into its own.
They made the comment as the system marks its first anniversary as a free public service across Asia.
CRI's Li Jing has the story.
Report: Beidou, which means the Big Dipper in Chinese, has been providing accurate and stable services to Asia-Pacific users since China launched it a year ago.
It has improved its accuracy to an error margin as low as five meters, down from 10, and can be further improved to be within centimeters.
That will make it competitive with the US Global Positioning System.
