With all the buzz about GPS phones such as the Nokia N95 its not surprising that GPS and satnav manufacturers are getting slightly concerned. Apparently market leaders Garmin and TomTom are ready to do something about the threat rather than sitting back.
Garmin has apparently held talks with Taiwan-based ODM handset maker Compal Communications but will not comment on the rumours. Compal has already built two navigation devices for Via Michelin, a car-service subsidiary of Michelin, indicating that the ODM handset maker would be able to manufacture GPS handsets.
