Hi Mary,
There were technical reasons why we chose them, the main one is that is who
MapQuest uses.  As far having NavTeq Maps on our other products, I am not
sure we want to do that yet since the POI content of TomTom is a lot better
it seems, but maybe we don't have access to all of NavTeq's POIs.  There are
also technical issues with how NavTeq divides up there maps by regions
instead of by state which could cause major havoc with how we handle address
lookups, and how we distribute the maps.

Thanks.

Hi Mike and Charles!
I'm curious as to why you use the Navtec maps in the Seeing Eye GPS, and the
Tomtom maps in the Sense products and the Note products?
Will there ever be a day when the Navtec maps will be used in the Sense and
note Products? I'd think it would make things easier.
As for new features, right now, my mind is blank. I'd say anything you
choose to add would be fine with me.
Thanks for reading!
