China's satellite navigation application industry had output value of about 2 billion yuan in 2002. In 2004 the figure exceeded 6.5 billion yuan and in 2005 it would top 10 billion, said Huang Yunkang, secretary-general of China Technical Application Association for Global Position System, at an achievement exhibition for satellite navigation electronic mapping technology organized by the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping.

China's independently developed satellite navigation electronic mapping products are currently able to cover the whole China except the Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao areas.
