Forbes: Google Working with AND

That’s been suggested by commenters and I did note the coyness of AND CEO Maarten Oldenholf when I interviewed him in October about a well-known user of his company’s data that he could not name. Forbes points to CloudMade founder Nick Black as confirming the Google AND partnership. Forbes states that “is said to be working with Automotive Navigation Data, a Netherlands-based digital map provider, to get detailed mapping data of Europe.”

But Forbes attaches another rumor: “But chatter that Google is soliciting European mapping data has some nav companies considering shutting their doors.” It cites a few small mobile developers, one of whom may change plans as Google takes Google Maps Navigation to Europe.
