GPS - new standard feature of mobile phones

Very soon, the main question “Hello, where are you?”, Which we ask when calling on a mobile phone, will become an anachronism. Many modern phones are equipped with GPS receivers. Nothing prevents to establish a unified coordinate transmission system from a mobile phone to a mobile phone, like SMS. Even before the call, press the button - and right on the phone screen you can see the geographical map and the place where your friend is located.

In principle, it is possible to calculate coordinates even without GPS, and by calculating the ratio of signal levels from surrounding base stations or by the coordinates of the nearest WiFi hotspot. Accuracy will be worse, but the battery will work for a long time. From the user's point of view, there is no difference how the mobile phone calculates the coordinates. The main thing is that he could transfer them to another phone and did not need to ask the very sacred question "Hi, where are you?". However, according to analysts , it is thanks to GPS that a breakthrough occurs in the market.

As before digital cameras, now GPS-receivers are becoming a standard accessory of a mobile phone. This technology is already in the phones Nokia, Samsung and Apple. At the same time they offer a special software that works with coordinates. This is a guide to the area and programs for tagging photos.

Third-party manufacturers have come up with more interesting applications: geo-dependent games , geo-dependent ads , as well as special services for tracking children and social networking . Nowadays, only fantasy limits developers, because they open up entire horizons of completely new software applications based on the coordinates of the terrain. All this will surely become very popular when GPS receivers are embedded in all mobile phones, and this will happen very soon.
