Comment: AutoNavi, the largest digital navigation map provider in China, invited as the representative from China and one of the observers, attended the GTF foundation meeting and presented a report on the current status of the Chinese telematics market. Although the Chinese telematics market is not mature enough, the most robust area in the global telematics market in the next eight years will come from Asia Pacific, especially China, with the driving factors of the booming Chinese automotive industry, consumer demands, and push of international giant players. The track “Telematics System” at NaviForum Shanghai 2007 will present to the navigation industrial insiders with more interesting and eye-catching information.   Time:2007-11-15 Source:NaviForum Shanghai News Center Relative
