While in-car navigation is an established and well-known service, pedestrian navigation is just starting to gain momentum. Advances in handset hardware such as high sensitivity GPS receivers and electronic compasses, navigation software, and pedestrian map details and content have allowed companies such as Nokia, Garmin, Samsung, Wayfinder, and Networks in Motion to launch solutions optimized for walkers. Transit information, GPS-triggered tourist content, 3D maps and imagery, and augmented reality applications are important drivers to boost awareness and uptake of this new navigation category.

This research report describes the main features, components, and characteristics of pedestrian navigation, the major market players, form factors, future trends and a forecast of pedestrian navigation users by region. It provides insight into drivers, barriers, pricing and business models.
