Tomtom, the famous producer of gps navigation units, currently the biggest in Europe, has announced a bid of €1.8bn on Teleatlas, a creator of maps for use in electronic navigation devices. It's an interesting move. Tomtom claims that it will improve customer feedback on the maps and the navigations devices as a whole. I doubt that is the real reason. I suspect it is a move for more power in the gps navigation market. And that's only logical.
Tele Atlas also supplies data to rival Garminlinks, a relationship that apparently won't be affected by the purchase.(TheRegister)
GPS Passion thinks a bit different about this.
