Unfortunately, I think the future is dumber. As GPS is pushed to the masses providers will have to dumb-it-down. There will also continue to be the substitution of wireless location technologies for actual GPS satelite systems. Just look at the specs for many of the GPS enabled phones on the market now. Few actually list any details about the GPS such as chipset, TTFF, or power consumption of the GPS. The future will also be to serve maps via data connections, which I oppose.
