I was first exposed to GPS in cars when I came to Korea last year. The taxi hired by the host organization to fetch us from the airport had such a system. It was like a small television that the driver kept looking at. When my friend came here in Seoul for a stop-over visit from US to Manila, she was surprised that Korea also uses the GPS. Her boyfriend in the US had GPS in his car, maybe it was Garmin GPS or some other brand. GPS is really very useful in navigating the roads, especially if you are going to an unknown address. However, I think it would not be available in the Philippines in the near future because it requires satellite navigation and road database, which I doubt we have yet. Who knows, in the future, our cars and taxis will also have such technology giving the taxi drivers more information about longer routes to take.
