Overview

Objectives:

The purpose of the NAVIfuture Project has been to produce an expert assessment of the development by 2005 of the personal navigation market. The definition of personal navigation used in this survey is a broad one, covering positioning technology and its utilisation, especially using mobile devices, both in consumer and professional applications and services.

The project also aims to support the strategy processes of the parties of the NAVI network. NAVI Network is the cluster of partners involved in mobile positioning and location based services in Finland.

Methodology:

The project uses the so-called Delphi method, in which experts reply anonymously to a comprehensive questionnaire and present grounds for their replies. Three Delphi rounds were involved and the first two questionnaires received responses from 68% of the experts enrolled in the survey but in the third round, the response rate fell to 51%. The reporting was based on the simple principle that the material speaks for itself.
