Garmin transitions map provider in Australia and New Zealand-

Garmin has today announced that it will transition its map provider for the majority of its nüvi range of Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) to NAVTEQ from February 2012. Garmin PNDs in Australia and New Zealand released from next month will join the majority of Garmin’s global PND range that already trust NAVTEQ as a map provider.

“Garmin is known for providing the best navigation experience for PND users around the world,” said Trevor Berrange, Managing Director, Garmin Australasia. “NAVTEQ has been Garmin’s map provider in the United States and throughout most European countries for many years and they have invested heavily in the Australian and New Zealand markets to provide a quality map for our customers.”

“We are proud to have been chosen by Garmin as the map provider for their class leading nüvi range of PNDs and believe this is testament to both the strength of our maps and our emphasis on local development,” said Kirk Mitchell, Vice President, Asia Pacific Sales, NAVTEQ. “Our significant resources here in Australia and New Zealand and our relationship with Garmin in other parts of the world have allowed us to make this significant collaboration work for both Garmin and NAVTEQ.”



All Garmin nüvi models released from February 2012 onwards in Australia and New Zealand will be manufactured with NAVTEQ maps onboard. Garmin’s fitness, outdoor and marine ranges will remain unchanged.

This is good news for those of us who are AU map users on a daily basis. I have been unhappy with Telstra/Sensis/WhereIs maps for sometime, at the risk of repeating myself. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
