The current profit margin for GPS gear makers is so fat and the competition among the GPS gear makers (Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, Lawrence, Navman, … and many new comers from Asia) are so fierce that the GPS price has no way to go but down.

NVT has a natural monopoly on maps and data. The lower the GPS device price, the more map/data/software sales for NVT.
