GPS, soon primarily a mobile phone phenomenon
So Long to Stand-Alone GPS Units? argues that the life expectancy of stand-alone GPS devices is short, as mobile phones with integrated GPS will take over. Not many GPS devices are sold today, so mobile phones could easily take over volume-wise, but I still sense there will continue to be a need for large screen rugged mapping/navigation devices. Yet, the overall use of GPS will increase very fast. Not the least as phones in US have to have GPS due to the E-911 rules.
