Mobile phone-based navigation will dominate the GPS market
10 Jan | Author: Julia G | Category: TravelOk, this is a good foundation for new LBS and POI services and one more advantage for hospitality and travel industries.
TRG (Telematics Research Group) reports that while portable navigation device makers like Garmin and TomTom remain worldwide market leaders, selling 30 million dedicated PNDs in 2007, handset makers like Nokia, Motorola, LG and Samsung are quickly gaining ground, moving about 20 million navigation-enabled phones last year.
TRG forecasts that annual navigation-enabled phone sales will outstrip dedicated PND sales sometime in the next year, with the combined market reaching sales in excess of 220 million units by the end of 2012 and passing the 500 million-unit threshold by the end of 2015.
