Read the new article from u-blox, and get started with your next GPS project.
Our Friends at u-blox have released an article, “Five Trends in GPS: Satellite-based positioning is everywhere; a look back at 2020 offers some insights into how it will shape our future.”
The article delves into the following trends:
- Smaller, faster, more efficient - getting physically smaller, tracking more satellites, and using less power
- Security - from antenna to cloud, implementing solutions to avoid misuse of GPS
- From centimeter to nansecond accuracies - the adoption of high-precision, low-cost technology will accelerate across industries
- New paradigms in e-micromobility - use of GPS in small, light weight vehicles (like scooters and ebikes) will become more advanced and multifunctional
- Immersive experiences and other surprises - innovators will continue to innovate and create/discover completely new applications
