GPS: It’s everywhere

The use of GPS systems by consumers has sky-rocketed in the last few years. In-car mapping and guidance systems such as Garmin and TomTom have been joined by out-of-car mapping and guidance systems on smart-phones such as the iPhone, Blackberry and Android. Portable computing devices such as the iPad, Amazon Kindle and Android Tablets include GPS features. Even users of traditional desktop and laptop computers use GPS technologies every time they visit mapping sites such as Bing Maps, Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps or MapQuest. GPS mapping and guidance systems are everywhere and being used by millions of consumers every day.

GPS programs can help people get from ‘here’ to ‘there’. The problem is that the user needs to know where ‘there’ is. If the user doesn’t know where ’there’ is, how will the GPS know how to direct the user to where ‘there’ is?

Points of Interest (POI) gives the ‘there’

GPS mapping and guidance systems use a ‘Points of Interest (POI) database’ to provide information on nearby businesses, tourist attractions, public service facilities, and even driving information such as major construction areas, red-light cameras and speed cameras. Anyone who has ever searched for nearby restaurants using a mapping program has seen a ’Points of Interest (POI) database’ in action. Businesses listed in GPS Point Of Interest (POI) databases can appear in GPS systems with an icon. This information provided through the icon (such as the businesses address, phone number and other essential information) can help the user pin-point the location of local businesses in which they are interested. This instantly obtained information will then allow GPS systems to guide consumers to that business, even though the user may not have previously known the business name, the business location or even that the business existed.

Business registration in GPS Point Of Interest (POI) databases is as important as having a domain name, web site and is becoming even more important than a yellow pages listing. If your business is not listed in GPS systems you are losing motivated customers who are looking for your business.
