Since we live in a fast paced world, it's hard to keep up with today's technology. Take the GPS for example. It's something that came from nowhere and flooded consumer's households in the blink of an eye. All it took was a little piece inside of a cell phone's SIM card and many families could utilize them. The most important part to them was whether or not they can set themselves apart from stand alone features.
While there are still some mobile phones that are too old to acknowledge a SIM, most of them are equipped with it as long as you have access to a 3G network. This of course leaves us with one major question. Is it as good as a stand alone GPS unit? The most common name people hear about is Garmin, or those other ones built into cars. Unfortunately they aren't as good yet. In our society today we see just about everything on a cell phone from cameras and MP3 players to Internet and ring tones.
If you want to take another angle and actually compare the phones to stand alone products, there is one major downfall to GPS tracking on a cell phone. Any time we drive and need help finding a location, we have to focus on the small mobile phone screen. This can create havoc on the road and even cause accidents. In fact, stand alone products use this to promote safety with their own creations.
What it comes down to is the stand alone is better while you're driving your car. However, a cell phone gives you the opportunity to take the GPS with you anywhere you go. Then again, it is feasible to carry a bulky stand alone all the time. However, you won't see anyone attempting to do this at all.
Even with all the debate that surrounds which one to choose, both industries are growing like crazy. While this may be true, you don't find too many people who buy one of each. Instead they feel that since they have an option with their mobile phone, a stand alone is not necessary, even if it's not as good. This is because mobile phones don't charge anything extra for GPS tracking.
Even market analysts agree that GPS units will grow for 3-5 more years thanks to lowered prices. However, once this period is over the stand alones will all but disappear as people upgrade their smart phones. Once cell phones are able to compete with GPS systems on a quality standpoint (especially voice options), people will cease to buy the stand alone versions. Even all the negativities that surround a mobile phones screen size will be combated with multi-functionality and portability.
It's inevitable, but we see it happen everyday in various markets. Take for instance the gaming world and all the different consoles that have come out over the years. This is why technology is fascinating and at the same time, a complete nightmare. When it comes down to GPS units, the ones associated with mobile phones is the future.
