Garmin’s Buying Navigon

Gizmodo AU

Garmin makes navigation hardware. Navigon makes navigation software. And now, it seems, these two star crossed lovers are getting an arranged marriage, with a subsidiary of Garmin to acquire the privately owned German Navigon. The deal includes custody of Navigon’s earlier kids – the iOS and Android mobile navigation apps. [Navigon]

    I wonder if this explains the delay in releasing the free Australian Navigon App for Samsung’s Bada OS. It’s been months since the announcement of the free app for the (desperately lacking in GPS software) Wave line of Samsung phones.
