Satellite navigation device

As GNSS navigation systems became more and more widespread and popular, the pricing of such systems began to fall, and their widespread availability steadily increased. Several additional manufacturers of these systems, such as [[Garmin]] (1991), [[Twig Com|Benefon]] (1999), [[Mio Technology|Mio]] (2002) and [[TomTom]] (2002) entered the market. Mitac Mio 168 was the first PocketPC to contain a built-in GPS receiver.{{cite web|url=http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/mitacmio168.php|title=Mitac Mio 168 Review|first=Darren|last=Griffin|website=www.pocketgpsworld.com|access-date=3 April 2018|archive-date=5 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305135658/http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/mitacmio168.php|url-status=live}} Benefon's 1999 entry into the market also presented users with the world's first phone based GPS navigation system. Later, as smartphone technology developed, a GPS chip eventually became standard equipment for most smartphones. To date, ever more popular satellite navigation systems and devices continue to proliferate with newly developed software and hardware applications. It has been incorporated, for example, into cameras.

While the American GPS was the first satellite navigation system to be deployed on a fully global scale, and to be made available for commercial use, this is not the only system of its type. Due to military and other concerns, similar global or regional systems have been, or will soon be{{when|date=December 2025}} deployed by Russia, the European Union, China, India, and Japan.

While the American GPS was the first satellite navigation system to be deployed on a fully global scale, and to be made available for commercial use, this is not the only system of its type. Due to military and other concerns, other global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are now operational, including Russia’s GLONASS, the European Union’s Galileo, and China’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. Additionally, there are also regional systems such as India's NavIC and Japan's’ Quasi-Zenith Satellite System that provide overage over specific areas.
