But Garmin do not hurry to put money in post Soviet Market. And he have full right to do it. Nokia had tried to invest money in Russia and Ukrainian distributor network at the time. But Nokia walked smack to grand fraud of century. My friend said that it would kill this company but Nokia was dying painfully long and missed a knockout beat from other side. Although you never know - my friend was winner in any case after that he sold the shares back at the good time...

Without a doubt, Garmin know this lesson and stay at the position that better a little profit than the big problem.
