The companies are
Teleglobe and Navteq
Garmin uses Navteq cartography as does Ford for their onboard Nav systems
A couple of years ago there was a huge controversy about a GPS hardware vendor
buying Teleglobe. Thereby leaving no competition in the digital cartography
market
There always seems to be a discrepancy between postal/street addresses and GPS
street addresses

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Speaking of problems with Garmin
Did you ever actually get a contact inside Garmin?
I have the same problem. If you punch in an address, it sends you to the
wrong end of a long road.
I've been told there are two mapping companies. Anybody know who they are?
