The global navigation system “Transit” took its first steps in 1958 and later became available for commercial civilian use under the name Navstar, thanks to President Ronald Reagan’s efforts in 1983.
With GPS-enabled services like Google Maps and Waze, we can effortlessly enter an address on any device and receive accurate directions. Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence has taken navigation apps a step further by analyzing real-time data on traffic congestion and redirecting vehicles to alternative routes, effectively optimizing traffic flow and saving motorists valuable time.
The data collected on each user, coupled with AI processing, enables the system to provide personalized reminders and useful information, further improving accuracy and efficiency.With just the press of a button, drivers can now instantly report medical or roadside emergencies without struggling to describe their location to a call center operator, especially in unfamiliar territories. This functionality has become increasingly accessible to the average commuter.
The Geo-payments functionality in certain banking apps, relies on a GPS system to enable seamless financial transactions. This empowers previously unbanked populations in Africa to participate in financial markets. Beyond managing traffic congestion in commercial road transportation and land logistics, GPS can offer crucial data for truck drivers to navigate potential threats along their routes or receive reminders about insurance coverage.
