    I have used both Garmin and Tom Tom; the only reason I bought the Tom Tom is because it was cheaper as a result of the price war which Tom Tom started last fall.
    The Tom Tom sucks compared to the Garmin.

    If Tele Atlas was so important, Google would have bought them, don't you think? Reply

    That's good to know, TJ. Thanks for sharing. I can only speak about the American market. There's no doubt I knew TomTom was significant competition, but perhaps larger than I thought! Reply

    I live in Europe, and TomTom (not Garmin) is the household word for a GPS. And I know quite a few folks who have bought a Garmin only to evenually replace it with a TomTom. I think Garmin's competition is stiffer than you mention. Reply

    "$600 million in cash (a share buyback or dividend is coming, perhaps?)"
    There already is a $0.75 dividend per share.
    And they already bought back 5.2 mln shares during the last period, they still have an approval to buyback an additional 5mln shares.

    "a few maps that are not very good" ?
    Indeed but:
    How many PND or cell phone makers are battling for this market? Dozens.
    How many map makers worldwide to fuel those ? 2
    Guess who will win finally ? Nokia & Tom2, the only 2 players who where smart enough to buy Navteq & TA and who now rule the worldwide game.
    Now see you in one year and we talk again.

    You added TeleAtlas to increase TT's margins, did you also substract the loss TeleAtlas made from the sales?
    TeleAtlas is almost making money but map making is very labor intensive and NavTeq is by far a better company than TA, it will be TT's downfall, good luck with your investing! ;)

    And if the PND drops off, what will Tom Tom have? Nothing but a few maps that arenot very good!!!! But Garmin has the Marine and Aviation markets to help carry them along. Almost everyone one of you analyst discounted the depth of this company. You only look at the PND and never at the fact that they are number 1 in Aviation and I'd say number 2 in Marine navigation. Have you ever used a Tom Tom device? Oh yeah maybe you did when you navigated an article like this. And a 21% sell off because they delayed a product from coming to market? Somebody needs to have their head examined. Do I own the stock? Yes just under 100 shares, but my real stock is that I do own garmin in my plane and my boat. Wouldn't have any other product when navigation is critical to my life and safety. Reply
