A personal navigation device (PND) is a portable electronic gadget engineered to aid users in navigating different locations. PNDs are typically equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) or alternative satellite navigation technologies, enabling them to pinpoint the user's exact location and deliver real-time navigation instructions. Primarily utilized for automotive navigation, these devices can also be applied to pedestrian navigation and various outdoor activities.
The primary categories of personal navigation devices include in-car personal navigation devices (PNDs), handheld GPS devices, smartphone applications, and wearable GPS devices. In-car PNDs are compact, dedicated devices tailored for running road navigation applications. These devices find applications across multiple platforms such as smartphones, tablets, and automobiles, serving various end users including automotive, outdoor, sports, commercial, and others.
