The Increasing Number of Mobile Phone with GPS Technology

LBS-Android

As the rapid development of LBS (Location Based Services), the use of GPS technology (Global Positioning System) in a number of platforms increases in recent years

In the final quarter of 2011, an estimated 79.9 percent of mobile phones in production (approximately 318.3 million units) will be equipped with GPS technology. That number increased dramatically compared to the first quarter of 2009 which only reached 56.1 percent (equivalent to 187.8 million units). Sharp increase is slightly more influenced by the high absorption of the smart phone market or also known as smartphones.

Smartphone is key to the technology industry today. Social networking services like Facebook on average require GPS technology. GPS technology is important elements in the smartphone market. In future, smartphones will overtake PNDs (Portable Navigation Devices) as a device with navigation function

Until the next five years, the smartphone will encourage the emergence of new applications that are supported by location-based software development through an open platform. Today, Apple has had more than 6,000 location-based applications.
