Google and Android to take over GPS market

Some noise about Google moving in on the navigation market, and threatening companies like TomTom with downloadable apps that do the same thing.

I can see the advantage, once device to do it all - but there are downsides to having the maps just in time rather than always available, it would be a shame to see independent devices die. They can probably keep themselves differentiated enough to survive, just as cameras just about have even though every phone is also a camera now.
