Navigation Devices and Services

In-Dash, Portable, and Mobile Handset-Based Navigation

Research Report

The consumer navigation market continues to advance as some new features and capabilities come to fruition, others fall short, business models change and the ecosystem evolves. There has been a great deal of activity around mobile handset solutions, as vendors scramble to take advantage of the growth in GPS-enabled devices and application stores. Vendors that offer navigation systems in other form factors (In-dash, aftermarket and PND) continue to evolve their solutions to meet the changing needs and desires of consumers.

This study provides in-depth coverage of consumer navigations systems, devices and services by worldwide region. It discusses recent events in the space, provides recommendations for ecosystem players, explores important trends in the market, and includes detailed forecasts by geography.
