What to Look for In GPS Devices This Year {Switched.com}
Jan 11th 2008 7:00PM In terms of what to expect in 2008, I think you should include adoption of GPS navigation services on cell phones. There wasn't a lot of news on this at CES (so I understand why it's not in the round-up) but this is one area that should be part of the mix. Connectivity was a big theme at CES this year (Dash, Garmin, etc.) which is interesting since this connectivity has been available on cell phones for years - see this post on our corporate blog for one of our co-founder's takes on CES news: http://blog.telenav.com/blog/2008/01/ces-gps-navigat.html
Big Brother riding shotgun in government-issued vehicles {Engadget}
Nov 16th 2007 1:21PM No one has really brought up here the idea that GPS can actually protect employees - whether they are government or private sector. You've probably seen the bumper stickers on vehicles that say "how is my driving?" If you're a driver and falsely accused of speeding or other infractions, having GPS on your vehicle can protect you from false claims. We (TeleNav) have a GPS tracking product for cell phones and this has happened more than once. For example, a city garbage truck driver was falsely accused of a hit-and-run to a parked vehicle but the city was able to check the records and determine that none of their trucks were in the area at the time. We've also had customers who've been able to find stranded employees (stuck in snow banks for example) as well. For employees, GPS can protect you - not to mention possibly save your life if you're stranded.
