There is a company that specializes in car navigation by digitally mapping and routing information called TomTom. This company began its operations back in 1991 focusing on developing software products for mobile devices that they found very challenging from a technological point of view. This company was having trouble with the limited size, processing power, and memory limitations inherent in mobile devices and began focusing on business applications until 1996. They finally shifted their focus to PDA devices and became a market leader for consumer applications. It wasn't until 2001 when they decided to get into the car navigation business, and by 2002 the TomTom Navigator was launched. This company has come a long way since its inception, and is now one of the most recognized names in the car navigation business. They enjoyed years of rapid growth before acquiring Tele Atlas in 2008, and this powerhouse company intends to keep improving and developing products for years to come.
