European drivers were among the first in the world to adopt navigation technology for their passenger cars, and now are among the first to adopt its sister technology, telematics.

Approximately 2.2 million passenger cars in Europe had an on-board telematics device at the end of 2007, according to market research firm Berg Insight. Stolen vehicle tracking is the main application, followed by automatic emergency call, driver assistance and motor insurance-related telematics."
