It’s true that the GPS enabled smartphones are gaining ground in the PND (Portable Navigation Device) Market, however there’s a limit to which these smartphones can really help in Navigation, especially when it comes to the Indian Roads, thanks to its narrow, heavy traffic & unexpected Jam filled Roads. So here jumps in the role of the New Generation Navigation Devices which comes with more features than ever to help a person get from location A to B quickly and safely. One such service provider fair enough to mention here would be the “Ayana Navigation Solutions” (ANS) providing PND’s.
Ayana Navigation Solutions (ANS) established in 2011 in India is a company that develops & offers complete navigation solutions and automotive multimedia systems. It also provides highly customized, localized solutions for numerous regions including India, Middle East, Africa, Europe, Russia & CIS, and North America. However now the company in partnership with NNG; a multinational corporation providing automotive and personal navigation Systems has come up with new two devices ANS Navigation A-501 & A-431 which it claims to be tailor-made for the Indian Roads. NNG’s vice-president for Eastern Europe & India, Peter Bolesza said “their company has already manufactured in-built navigation devices for Renault, Volkswagen and Tata Motors in India and are in talks with other automotive companies”. With respect to A-501 & A-431 he says that the market is still in its budding stage and with release of smartphone app for the same in future, the company intends to capture 30-40% market share.
