Car navigation is currently the main application of GNSS. GNSS data combined with electronic maps allow positioning and guidance of the road user. Personal Navigation Devices sales have enjoyed fast growth over the last 4 years: 76% per year worldwide, 55% in the EU.  
Personal Navigation Devices (PND) are portable devices specifically built to run [[Road Navigation]] applications. This product is the most popular product with embedded GNSS technology only rivaled by the [[Phones|phone]] with GNSS technology. Although the PND market still continues to grow, it is expected to start declining from 2013 onwards, when [[Phones|GNSS phones]] will take over the position as most popular GNSS product.<ref name="GSAGNSSMarketrep" >[http://www.gsa.europa.eu/files/dmfile/GSAGNSSMarketreportIssue1.pdf GSA GNSS Market Report – Issue 1], October 2010.</ref>

Overview of Road Products

Personal Navigation Devices

Personal Navigation Devices (PND) are portable devices specifically built to run Road Navigation applications. This product is the most popular product with embedded GNSS technology only rivaled by the phone with GNSS technology. Although the PND market still continues to grow, it is expected to start declining from 2013 onwards, when GNSS phones will take over the position as most popular GNSS product.[1]

These products that initially only supported navigation now incorporate other functionality such as mobile hands-free system, multimedia player, games, external application support, travel utilities (world time, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator, etc).
