Overview of Road Products
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. [1]
Satellite navigation receivers are now commonly installed in new cars as a key tool for providing new services to people on the move: electronic charging, real-time traffic information, emergency calls, route guidance, fleet management and Advanced Driving Assistance Systems. [2]
