How to List Your Business on GPS

A global positioning system, or GPS, comes pre-programmed with different addresses, points of interests and businesses. Not every business is featured on the GPS. There are three companies that supply information to GPS manufacturers. They are GPS Data Team, InfoUSA and NAVTEQ. You can add your business' listing through their websites.
