It’s Not A Good Day To Be A GPS Manufacturer

Google’s free GPS feature on Android 2.0 is great news! Unless you’re the fine folks at Garmin and TomTom, in which case, oh shit. [Engadget]

    way to undercut the competition google. isn’t this the same as wollies driving down the price of fruit to put the little fruit shop next door out of business?

      Well I think that they deserve it.
      I love my GPS. Its great. However, if i want to update my maps. Its not easy and its not cheap.
      It should be cheaper then a new map book, but instead its over $100.

      Want maps from another country? $200+ thats more then the damn GPS. Might as well buy another. I think GPS manufacturers can survive if they come up with some decent innovations and genuinely good value gear.
