This article describes the current state of navigation technology within the motor transport sphere based on the GLONASS system. In this article, the example of the "ERAGLONASS" emergency alert system is used. Consideration is given to both the systems operation and technical solutions. Further consideration is also given to the experience of the implementation of the "ERA-GLONASS" system within the automotive industry. It also considers the impact of the state rules and regulation required to equip cars with this system on the market of used imported cars operating within Russia. The author further researches issues related to the organization of a system of authorized centers for the installation and maintenance for "ERA-GLONASS" equipment within the Primorsky Kray region and the associated social and economic consequences. Recommendations are made for further development of the application of technologies of global navigation systems in road transport, taking into account the positive and negative experiences of implementation to date.
