Do you need a business plan for GPS product? Global positioning systems in general have gone from untested, unknown technology to a mainstay of consumer convenience in the past decade. They now monitor everything from cell phones to school buses, and come as standard issue devices for sports utility vehicles to outdoor gear. The market is two-fold -- there are certain devices where GPS technology is "built in" and then there are consumer GPS systems that can be purchased separately at retail and used in any number of ways.

• How many employees will you need?
• How much capital are you seeking?
• Who do you compete against?
