It seems like TomTom brand is a european company (dutch) and is developing as a strong competitor to garmin and megellan brands. The company recently is aquiring TeleAtlas the map provider.

There are some reviews comparing Navitec maps and Teleatlas maps. Both provide map and routing info to major online sites like google maps. But Navitec is more popular and more widely used. But TeleAtlas seems to be catching up.
