Trimble supplies Avis' car nav GPS receiver . . .

Avis is not offering GPS car nav units on the same scale as Hertz -- just in Olds 88 cars -- but it turns out (after some digging) that Olds uses a "Guidestar" system supplied by Siemens Automotive Corp., which in turn gets its GPS receiver from Trimble. Siemens is also supplying the BMW North America GPS unit. So, wherever you see "Guidestar" or "Tetrastar" you're seeing TRMB technology.
