Nokia Gets Approval To Purchase NAVTEQ, Looks To Battle Google

by Justin

Look for Nokia’s planned purchase of NAVTEQ to officially go through in the next week or so after the $8.1 billion deal received unconditional approval from the European Commission yesterday. This in itself isn’t so interesting, but with Google signing a 5 year deal with TomTom’s recent acquisition TeleAtlas last week granting full access to the company’s mapping data, Google’s Android and the Open Handset Alliance will look to be pitted directly against Nokia and its Symbian Foundation come later this year.
