to me(a Garmin employee) this is a very odd move. the reasoning behind much of our success is the quality of maps we use for our products. from my opinion this was a move to secure our future and not let two companies like Nokia and tom-tom have control over the only two global map companies in existence. when you have tighter integration with your products to the maps your products can be superior. Garmin has had such a good relationship with Navteq over the years, only time will tell what this does to our products, customer base, and relationship with Navteq.

even if Nokia has Navteg and Tom has Tele, why cant garmin do business with them as usual?
