SatNav industry meets to discuss the future of navigation

[MikeB]

Seated in an auditorium in the Grand Marina Hotel, Barcelona surrounded by the captains of the navigation industry the second Canalys Forum begins. With delegates and keynote speakers from Hardware to Software and Mapping most of the senior decision makers are here. A new touch is the introduction of a new navigation system: the PNH (Personal Navigation Hostess). It is quite difficult finding our way around the complex and they have been provided to ensure we don't get lost.

Over 2 days of meetings, presentations and seminars the giants of the SatNav industry discussed and debated the future directions of the industry. Obviously nobody exposed their immediate plans, but there was lots of "Blue Sky" discussions. In one of our longest ever articles I have presented an analysis of the event followed by a synopsis of the various keynote speeches and sessions that I attended.

Cheers, Alan.
