GPS unites have proven themselves to be an invaluable piece of technology, making getting around new areas a breeze as the on-screen navigation told users exactly where they needed to go. However, the popularity of GPS technology has almost made them obsolete due to the addition of turn-by-turn navigation to every new cell phone that comes out nowadays.
In an effort to compete with the takeover of smartphones, GPS companies have been developing some really cool methods to display navigation to the customer. While 3D graphics and more efficient navigation are high on the list off wants for GPS units, Pioneer has been developing an augmented reality, see-through screen that attaches to a driver’s sun visor and safely displays the route information without users having to constantly glance away from the road.
With augmented reality being added to the list of options available for those looking for a GPS unit, the market has become quite interesting again.
