Grab launches lane-level GPS pilot on mobile phones

It aims to address GPS accuracy degrading above 20 metres in dense urban areas.

Grab Singapore launched a high-accuracy, lane-level global positioning system pilot, the first in Southeast Asia to deploy on mobile phones integrated with a ride-hailing app.

This new system addresses the issue of standard GPS accuracy degrading above 20 metres in dense urban areas.

The pilot, in collaboration with Oppo, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Swift Navigation, began in October 2025 with nearly 250 selected drivers and delivery-partners.

Approximately 60 partners received the Oppo Find N5 foldable phone, which utilises a Dual Frequency GNSS, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform's Meter-Level Positioning for Mobile feature, and Swift Navigation’s Skylark™ Precise Positioning Service.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
