Google is throwing its hat into yet another industry, announcing that it will soon be offering a free GPS service for mobile phones. The free service could boost the popularity of its Android operating system, which will include it with Google Maps for Mobile. The popularity of GPS systems has grown over the years, with the market being dominated by companies like Garmin and Tom-Tom. Google hopes to offer the device on non-Android phones, but with the opposition that was seen to Google Voice apps, this seems unlikely. GPS maker Tom-Tom recently released a similar app for the iPhone, with a price tag of $100.

Is that really a free GPS service that Google offers? Well it would be perfect for the Android Tactical System for military purposes. I think it would be possible but impossible for the mobile phones that are used by the public. Many competitors would be the number ones to oppose this proposition. Anyway, if it is free no one will need now instant cash loans loans for GPS service fees. I just miss the reaction of Tom about this.
