TomTom Users to be able to Download Google Biz Data

Per Reuters:

TomTom, which makes navigation devices for cars and mapping software for handheld computers, says its users will be able to search for business addresses on Google Maps and transfer them to their TomTom device.

One upside for users:

TomTom’s devices include “points of interest” - such as restaurants, petrol stations and parking garages - but if a user has not regularly bought map upgrades, such data can become out of date.

The article notes that this intermediary step will help TomTom hold users as more and more satnav devices gain Internet connectivity and cell phones get more mapping solutions.
