GPS Enabled Phones
11 Feb | Author: admin | Category: GPSThe market for GPS enables phones, says the recent ABI Research, will grow in this (2009) recession year by 6.4%. It seems like the total volume of the market will be 240 million devices in 2009 and 450 M by 2012.
It is interesting to note that predictions severely underestimated the marked for the so called PND = personal navigation devices, which were thought by In-Stat to be only 56 M in 2011. Cellphone (smartphone) revolution altered the prediction by ten times.

GPS phone is useless during the trip without reasonable data roaming prices. Do you need GPS phone home?

What you mean? I guess, GPS doesn’t add to GSM data traffic, yet can be fun and useful. For example, tagging messages or mobile email or pictures taken with cameraphone with geodata.

Well, maps are usually Web-based because they require a lot of storage which is hard to fit on a small cell phone… Best maps for A country are Google Maps, for example, which do consume a lot of data.
Geo-tagging can add a lot to data as it does on Google Earth with Panaramio tagging.
