You are correct that it has much to do with iOS6. But they're not scared though. They expect licensing revenues from Apple to be higher than decreasing revenue from apps. Cheap apps with no local map ... |

Both Navteq and TeleAtlas are working on 'incremental map updates'. TomTom/TeleAtlas mentioned a servicelevel agreement of maximum 48 hours between updating a map and getting it to the users. That wou ... |
