Garmin has had such a good relationship with Navteq over the years, only time will tell what this does to our products, customer base, and relationship with Navteq.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marc D]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 31st 2007 2:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin challenges TomTom with $3.3 billion bid for Tele Atlas]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/garmin-waves-3-3-billion-in-the-face-of-tele-atlas/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/garmin-waves-3-3-billion-in-the-face-of-tele-atlas/</guid><description><![CDATA[even if Nokia has Navteg and Tom has Tele,  why cant garmin do business with them as usual? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[darkstar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 31st 2007 3:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin challenges TomTom with $3.3 billion bid for Tele Atlas]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/garmin-waves-3-3-billion-in-the-face-of-tele-atlas/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/garmin-waves-3-3-billion-in-the-face-of-tele-atlas/</guid><description><![CDATA[To those who say that the Navteq maps are better, in Europe I've found the TeleAtlas maps to be far superior.
