Development and Prospects of GPS Chips.gps tracker no monthly fee Processing

　　After 2003, the GPS chip industry has shown a thriving development like mushrooms after rain. Currently, there are more than 10 manufacturers designing and producing GPS chips, including SiRF, Garmin, Motorola, Sony, Fujitsu, Philips, Nemerix, uNav, uBlox, and others in the United States.

　　In 2005, SiRF acquired Motorola's GPS chip business and will collaborate to integrate GPS functionality into Motorola's smartphones in the future. Coincidentally, Qualcomm has also designed an integrated GPS function in the enhanced 3G mobile phone chip CDMA2000 EV-DO. Nextel is also using SiRF technology to implement GPS functionality in its phones.

　　The United States has passed laws requiring mobile phone manufacturers to integrate GPS receivers into their products in 2007 to provide positioning and emergency call functions, which is already the era of 3G. It can be seen that although mobile phones with integrated GPS function have not yet entered the mainstream market, in the future, mid to high-end models of 3G phones will generally integrate GPS function.

　　Despite numerous manufacturers, SiRF currently holds a similar position in the field of non independent GPS as Intel in the PC industry, with almost all mainstream products using SiRF chips. Therefore, readers only need to understand the main models of SiRF chips to understand the core technical differences of non independent GPS.

　　In addition, Garmin holds half of the market share in independent GPS devices, mainly using Garmin's own chip products. Garmin Company is very similar to IBM in the IT field, from map software to GPS devices, to core chips, and is a vertically integrated company in the industry. In some non independent GPS fields, Garmin also uses SiRF chips.

　　Emerging GPS chip companies find it difficult to establish a foothold in the existing market, and their focus is mainly on various IT devices that integrate GPS in the future, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, PDAs, laptops, and even USB drives.

　　If integrated with computing devices, many functions of GPS chips can be completed through software, which can further reduce costs. As early as 2004, SiRF Company had already launched such a simplified product?? Software GPS. Recently, Philips has also released similar products that can support ARM processors, Xscale processors, and x86 processors to complete various GPS processing tasks. The cost of integrated software GPS is only 4-5 US dollars
