2013: GPS-enabled cameras to break 10 million units sold. 


According to ABI Research�s latest Report, �Location Applications for Tablets, eReaders, Digital Cameras & Handheld Gaming,� there will be 10 Million digital cameras sold next year that embed a GPS chipset. 

According to the research firm, �the camera market has huge potential, with geotagging a clear driver. With over 30 GPS-enabled cameras on the market, shipments are expected to break 10 million in 2013, and a second wave of new applications emerging around tracking, Maps/POI, and dead-reckoning.


As an industry, there needs to be a complete overhaul of how cameras are designed, to find a way to leverage the photography revolution occurring on smartphones. ABI Research has forecast that this will open the door to GPS, alternative location, and LBS  (Location Based Services) in future.�
