Come to wholesale GPS navigation, there is not much great changes. As the consumer digital products, the car GPS navigation can be treated as the marginal-product. On one hand, it has the special user group. On the other hand, there are not many selections in type. As we have spent half of the time this year, what will be our concern on the car GPS navgiation market in the rest of the year?
The car GPS navigation begins to be weak at the present market. Because no many new products appear on the market, the consumers pay less attention the car GPS products. But there may be some changes in the latter half of this year.
For GPS itself, the function application is relatively simple. It's basically developed around the positioning. As there's no breakthrough on the function, the manufactuers turn to do some work on the appearance and size. Don't look down upon it. It can bring surprise as it's properly used.
In the early time when the apple notebook was focused by users, Jobs brought users the super thin Macook Air on the conference. Regardless of the price, the thin size impressed consumers a lot. Sony launched the P-serise pocket book following the craze of netbook. It drew the attention of the consumers by its high performance and small size.
It's applied in the navigation market. Garmin started to take actions some time ago. Its nuvi 3700 serise products catch our eyes by their thin size and fashionable capatitive touch screen. Can't the thickness of 9mm be eye-catching?
According to the reliable news, 3700 serises products is under the test at present. As to the exposed photos, Nuvi 3700 products will win the great attention of the consumers. But it doesn't appear on the market at present. The manufacturers wouldn't draw a rash conclusion about the market reaction.
No matter how it will turn out to be, for consumers, the gps navigation with great changes on appearance is expectable. As it becomes light in the weight and small in the size, the hardware of modle must have been upgraded. The "simple" changes cost much.
There was GPS navigation with CPND on the market last year. But it disappeared from the market gradually after a few months due to the immaturity of the product itself. It's even uncertain whether there's still related service industry. The immaturity of the technology and service leads to the short life.
The full name of CPND is Call Center Portable Navigation Devices. As there are more selections of the data exchageable channels, many wholesale GPS manufactuers start the developing and manufacturing of CPND products.
It seems that the CPND will appear on the market again. Will it come with the short life as before? Does it learn a lesson? There's not much information about it. But we may see the new product this year.
What the consumers concern is the utility of CPND. If the service platform, service quality and expense can be well worked, CPND must make a successful comeback.
