Navigon gets priced out of the North American PND market
They made some very high quality products, but that high quality and full functionality came with a price. As we saw last year, people were flocking to buy these PND units for their cars. However, many consumers are looking for the low price units and Navigon specialized in functionality more than low price. They acknowledged that they really couldn't compete with the aggressive pricing and are focusing on OEM/automotive solutions rather than the PND market. As more and more people start to buy smartphones with integrated GPS receivers I wonder if the PND market will continue to shrink from mobile phone usage for navigation.
