are accurate. It also completely neglects the fact that you can use OSM
data without a fee andf without someone telling you what you can and cannot
do with it. I'd imagine they're running scared at the move away from the
restrictive, closed-source model for electronic data.

It also ignores the fact that TomTom wanted to totally own crowd sourced
mapping, but they lost largely because Garmin doesn't lock us out on their
devices.  This reeks of sour grapes, big time.
