OVI maps take off - The Inquirer
More on the NAV4ALL shutdown mentioned at the end of the BBC story:
http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Nav4a...TEQ_a2012.html " . . . the trend shown at Nokia-NAVTEQ and TomTom-Tele Atlas is a bit worrying for the rest of the industry. The step by step integration of Tele Atlas into TomTom and the free navigation offer from Nokia is starting to create market distortions. . . . Looking at it from a broader perspective, it seems the two map makers are slowly but surely sliding away from the promises made to the European Commission two years ago when their acquisitions were investigated by the anti-trust authority. One day or another Brussels could have a second look at it." http://www.mobilenewscwp.co.uk/Featu..._maps_war.html "A free version of Ovi Maps for 10 handsets has turned the navigation industry on its head. The question yet to be answered is exactly how Nokia will make up the losses on its old mapping revenue (if indeed there ever was much revenue from its pay-as-you-use pricing models)."

And now it's getting out there everywhere... This http://www.redferret.net/?p=18498 is an interesting piece that makes it quite plain that Garmin could well be in trouble because of their reliance on Navteq which of course is Wholly Nokia owned !!! Interesting times ahead...

Interesting times ahead... The best being that Garmin's map prices should plummet to almost free if they hope to stay afloat. If not, then all pre-existing map products of theirs will just become world-wide public domain data eventually. Their bean-counters and associated dependent CEOs certainly have their jobs and continued revenues at stake. Ain't freedom of information wunderful? :-)
