NAVTEQ

The Eco-Navigator provides real-time fuel consumption and CO2 output data to drivers, to help them drive cleaner and more efficiently.

Escort has integrated ticket avoidance technology and GPS navigation into one unit, the Passport IQ.

Navteq is revamping its navigation systems with "Natural Guidance" voice cues that replace "turn left in 300 metres" with something much more human like "turn left after the big church." Interesting idea, and a step forward in humanizing the GPS.

In 2009, roughly half of all people in mature markets such as US, UK, France and Germany had used navigation devices - roughly double the number from 2006.

According to a recent proprietary research study, if you have a traffic-enabled GPS and spend most of your time on busy roads, you could save yourself up to four days a year.
