Not to confuse CHEAP with "Best bang for the Buck"...

TI introduced the industry's first single-chip assisted global positioning system (A-GPS) solution in 90 nanometer (nm) process technology for mobile phones. A-GPS enables consumers to connect to a satellite from their mobile phone to get directions and maps to the nearest ATM or store, find friends who may be nearby and location information in emergency situations. Through TI'sinnovative DRPTM technology, the GPS5300 NaviLink™4.0 single chip offers the smallest system area for a discrete GPS solution, lowest total system cost, low power consumption and high performance A-GPS functionality.

"A-GPS capabilities are becoming a must-have feature for 3G mobile phones in many regions around the world,"said Marc Cetto, general manager of TI'sMobile Connectivity Business. "A low bill of materials, small size, low power and high performance are fundamental requirements to drive A-GPS penetration in mobile phones, all of which TI delivers with the GPS5300 NaviLink4.0 solution."
