Automotive Navigation Systems Market Definition And Segments
Automotive navigation systems refer to technology-integrated systems designed to assist drivers in navigating from one location to another. These systems provide real-time directions, maps, and other relevant information to help drivers reach their destinations efficiently. These systems typically rely on GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to ascertain the vehicle's present location and offer precise instructions to a specified place.
The main types of components in automotive navigation systems are hardware, software, and connectivity. The hardware component refers to the physical electronic and mechanical parts that enable the functioning of the navigation system. It includes various navigation modes, such as 3D navigation, 2D navigation, and differential global positioning system (DGPS), which are employed in several vehicles, such as passenger cars and commercial vehicles. These are distributed through various sales channels, including original equipment manufacturer and aftermarket, for several applications, such as car navigation, dynamic vehicle routing, tracking rental cars, and monitoring high-risk auto loans.
