I guess we don't have to

I guess we don't have to worry about Garmin using TeleAtlas. And no excuse for Tom Tom not to offer lifetime free map updates.

What's next? Google or Garmin buying Navteq?

If Garmin does buy Navteq, we might said goodbye to other low cost GPS like Milo. Garmin and TomTom wouldn't be selling their maps to their competitors cheap.
