gpsOne®: Because Your Position in Life Really Does Matter™

GPS technology and location-based services have become essential to modern living. As a leading developer of advanced wireless technologies and integrated solutions, Qualcomm is well equipped to provide an advanced and widely adopted (multimode) GPS position-location technology: gpsOne. Used in more than 300 million handsets, gpsOne goes well beyond just defining your location. Location-based services, which utilize GPS, are available to make your life easier, more entertaining, more secure, and more informative.

With the gpsOne® solution, navigating from point A to point B becomes much more efficient, especially when information on weather, traffic, accidents, etc. is automatically utilized to suggest alternative routes for travel. gpsOne uses location data to provide closer contact with your friends and family, making it easier to keep in touch and to spend time together. And it increases your opportunities for fun with dynamic suggestions for dining, shopping, and other recreation as you travel.

gpsOne delivers immediate, precise geo-positioning information and is powerful enough to provide location data seamlessly, wherever you go. It can also use location data to enrich other multimedia experiences within your life. Used in combination with other leading wireless technologies from QCT, gpsOne can power multi-functional applications that use location in ways you may have not thought possible. Imagine being able to take a photo or record a video with a location stamp immediately captured with the image metadata. How about having a 3D map displayed on your phone to help you precisely pinpoint and depict your destination in a more realistic fashion? Gaming enthusiasts can leverage their playing skills in geo-caching environments or they can sniff out potential challengers within a defined radius of their own location. The power of gpsOne knows no boundaries.
