Much of the debate around navigation form factors to date has centered on in-dash, portable and handset-based navigation. However, a number of new form factors are gradually becoming available offering unique benefits such as bigger screens (netbooks) compared to traditional systems. In other cases consumers can reuse devices they already own such as MIDs or portable gaming consoles for navigation at a small incremental cost.

This Research Report provides insight into the most important alternative navigation form factors such as UMPCs, laptops, netbooks, MIDs, PMPs, outdoor GPS handhelds, GPS fitness watches, portable gaming consoles, rear view mirror systems and digital cameras. The report includes forecasts, a SWOT analysis of each form factor, and the main vendors, as well as market drivers and barriers.
