Wireless communication has grown by leaps and bounds since the early 1980s, when the cellular phone found its niche in the public marketplace. What was then a heavy, utilitarian handset nearly the length of a shoebox, has evolved into today’s miniature, multi-functional gadget, with access to music, games, camera, e-mail, text-messaging and a once-unimaginable amount of information, via Internet interface.

For almost 30 years, the cellular phone has been almost constantly revised and reinvented to keep up with consumer demand.

At the moment, one of the most popular cell phone functions is Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking and navigation services, which many consumers find invaluable for driving directions, traffic updates and Location-Based Services (LBS): finding local attractions, dining and services such as parks, restaurants, a drug store or dry cleaners.

GPS navigation, including directions over a screen map, is an additional service option. GPS tracking on cell phone is often a different – and often debated – subject entirely. (more…)

Cell phones compete in GPS tracking  market

WOODSTOCK (Thursday,March 19, 2009) -  Global Positioning System (GPS tracking ) technology is becoming more sophisticated, making the world around us a little smaller and the distances between us a bit shorter, day by day.

The telecommunications industry has jumped on the GPS bandwagon with fervor in recent years, hoping to become prevalent in a market dominated by manufacturers of GPS vehicle tracking system devices. There are some who predict the GPS cell phone business will soon grow to a $20 billion a year industry.

That might be welcome news to business owners and parents, many who feel they have a responsibility to see that those in their charge  - be they employees or loved ones – are behaving in a safe, responsible and/or efficient manner.  In an increasingly mobile society, GPS tracking choices are expanding and consumers are left to weigh their options to find the best solution for their needs in terms of accuracy, consistency, and convenience.

To say that cell phones have turned the concept of worldwide mobile communication into a 21st century reality is a definite understatement.

What has its origins in primitive 19th century technology under the combined  craftsmanship of Alexander Graham Bell and Guglielmo Marconi, has transformed into a little gadget with a tremendous capacity for growth and development.  Besides putting us in touch with virtually anyone in just about any location, most cell phone models are now equipped with far-reaching propensities such as text messaging, obtaining and storing information, sending and receiving e-mail and integrating other devices like PDAs, MP3 players and GPS receivers—which are just to name a few.
