A decade of GPS Business News
Dear all,
GPS Business News was born early 2007 on the simple idea that the GPS and positioning/navigation markets were in need of a business newsletter and website that would help worldwide stakeholders keep up to date with technology and business.
The outcome was an immediate success with 25,000 monthly readers in 100+ countries in the first year and pageviews that reached sometimes half a million a month.
In that decade geolocation technologies (in all their flavours) have become ubiquitous and transformed the world in many ways, from location-based advertising to driverless cars, to the (almost) extinction of paper maps.
9+ years and almost 6,000 articles, podcasts and videos later I have decided to discontinue GPS Business News. It has been a great ride from the beginning till the end, and, like every journey, a great opportunity to make a number of good friends all over the world.
I have decided to concentrate on consulting, events - ConnecteDriver which will be in its 4th year in 2017 and the newly born Geo IoT World which had a great start last week in Brussels) as well as a geolocation startup which will be publicly announced in a matter of months (stay tuned!).
I will nevertheless continue to post about geolocation and connected cars on the Twitter feed and LinkedIn group and probably contribute some articles here and there.
I hope you enjoyed GPS Business News as much as I did, see you soon!

8yLudovic, it's with great sadness that I read this official news. I always appreciated that you were willing to expose the hypocrisy, hype and heresy but also promote the truly innovative accomplishments of our colleagues and the companies that make up this ecosystem. GPS Business News will be missed but it's great that you will still be part of the industry and I look forward to many interactions with you. We all wish you tremendous success in your new ventures and thank you for your years of contribution to this industry.
