Back in the old days, when GPS was new technology
(circa 1994) everyone was sure that within ten years every
car would have GPS Navigation and most of us would
be wearing receivers on our wrist. Great concept just
a little slow to develop. The main reason is that unlike
hikers, automobiles must follow set paths with rules and
restrictions. GPS couldn’t really develop without good
mapping and cheap memory to store all the map data.
Today, the technology has matured and the
consumer is beginning to accept its potential for
everyday life. Basic In-car Navigation units are so
familiar that they are starting to become standard
equipment for new cars. Aftermarket units are
pushing high-end features like the ability to factor in
current traffic conditions (with special receivers and
service plans) and BlueTooth™ interaction with other
devices like cell phones.
