After Navteq acquisition, Nokia has been aggresively launch high end phones with GPS-enabled. Soon, half of phone manufactured will be equipped with GPS. They expect it be realized by 2010-2012.
Nokia's head of location-based activities, Michael Halbherr told that he remains comfortable with Nokia's year-old goal for seeing up to 50 percent of its phones equipped with global positioning system (GPS) chips in 2010 to 2012.
Thus, if last year Nokia sold about 437 million units, there will be more than 200 million phones with GPS enabled in about next 2-4 years. I hope at that time, the GPS technology has matured enough in every area around the globe, not only in US and Europe countries.
