And first two paragraphs:

"Personal navigation device maker TomTom NV shocked the market with a profit warning on Tuesday, blaming weak pricing power and European retailers for stocking fewer of its products.

Demand for such devices, which can give drivers turn-by-turn voice directions, has remained strong, but TomTom has faced stiff pricing competition from established players like Garmin Ltd. and non-brand-name Asian competitors such as Taiwan's MiTac International."

And the fact that they paid a fortune for Teleatlas.
Or has that ended up in the repair shop as well.

I feel that all along Europe have been the guinea pigs for the market they really want, America.
