Android’s GPS is good news for us but not for TomTom/Garmin
Posted by: Francesco In: Sundries
Google recently rolled out Maps Navigation, a pretty darn good turn-by-turn navigation application for the Android platform.
Have a look at this video to grasp some of the features of this app and realize how potentially disruptive this is for TomTom and Garmin:
As a matter of fact TomTom and Garmin are reacting very badly to this move, while Google proves to be capable of creating serious damage also to established and strong businesses such as the GPS one. Who will buy a TomTom for iPhone App and Kit, when they could have a similar experience for free?
Cant’ wait to see how this evolves!
