GPS has certainly been one of the most publicized technologies in 2007, it was predicted that by the end of the year, 63 % of all mobile phones would incorporate a GPS. Nonetheless, according to Direction informatique, most users ignore that their mobile phone has a GPS processor. They also mention that 240 million mobile phones will be delivered in 2008 and more than 550 million mobile phones with GPS functionality will be in use by 2012. Many car manufacturers (Ford, Mazda, Audi, etc.) have integrated this technology to a few models or offer it as an option.

The Service industry has most benefit from it with multiple application developments in Sales, Security, and Clientele Service and delivery services.
