#35: Using GPS Navigation Systems
Gone are the days when adventurers unfolded paper maps or booted up their GPS devices for directions. Today, smartphones have ushered in a new era of navigation, particularly favored by millennials. These versatile gadgets have effectively made standalone GPS units obsolete, marking a significant shift in how we explore the world around us.
In the digital age, navigating through the streets has never been easier, thanks to the integrated map systems on smartphones. Users can access detailed directions with just a few taps, bypassing the need for a traditional GPS device. This convenience, combined with the cost-effectiveness of not having to purchase separate hardware, has contributed to a significant downturn in the GPS market, including a notable 10% decline in revenue in 2014.
