Press Release Summary: The global GPS market is expected to grow 17% by 2010 due to
rising affordability, easy operating functions and increasing acceptability by the
mass market.

Press Release Body: The use of GPS technology in new applications is anticipated to
grow at a rapid pace due to increasing availability of GPS-enabled devices and
continuously falling prices, says RNCOS in its new research report, “World GPS
Market Forecast to 2012”. As the prices are continuously declining, the sales
of GPS devices have observed a sharp increase in consumer exposure as the navigation
devices have become more affordable.

As a result, says the report, the global market for mobile location technologies is
anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 17% from 2007 to 2010.

As per the report, this 17% growth in GPS systems is supported by the portability
feature of the systems. This feature enables the use of same GPS receiver both
off-road and while walking in a strange town, bicycling, hiking, and boating, or
locating landmarks such as restaurants or gas stations on long road trips.

Moreover, mass adoption of any technology largely depends upon its affordability to
the general consumer. So increasing consumer exposure and rising demand for GPS
navigation devices worldwide have prompted manufacturers to cut down the prices and
make the devices even more affordable with easier operating functions to mass
market, adds the research report.
