The mass market solutions, based on the use of GPS/GLONASS satellite navigation in personal devices (navigators and smartphones), telematics devices and in-vehicle navigation & information systems, have reached limits of their technological development and penetration. Consumers and businesses demand more: reliability assurance, higher accuracy, ‘everywhere’ navigation (not only outdoors).

The navigation technology development will be highly impacted by parallel in-vehicle revolutionary processes: data exchange between cars, between cars and the infrastructure, robotic automation. The cooperation in the BRICS+ format and the commercialization of potential of the ERA-GLONASS system, which commercial operation was started in 2015, will be an additional and important factor of the navigation market ‘reset’ for Russia.
