Consumer products with on-board GPS, such as PND’s (Personal Navigation Devices), PMP’s (Personal Multimedia Players), digital cameras, and personal locators, are rapidly gaining market acceptance.

These consumer products have similar requirements to wireless handsets, because their space, power and price constraints are also tough. 

Consumer expectations for top-notch GPS performance are also rising. Conversely, increasing competition and demand to bring GPS into midrange and lower range products is creating downward price pressures. For those reasons, the CellGuide GPS solution is a perfect fit to meet the positioning needs of these consumer products.

As with wireless handsets, the consumer product sector has largely moved to ACPU’s. Popular ACPU’s in the consumer market include the Marvell PXA and Samsung application processors which are both supported by CellGuide’s GPS products.
