Is Trimble GPS powering the Acura navigation system? I'm not sure, since the Japanese cars have the least public information on suppliers, but Trimble would be my first guess -- mostly because Trimble is supplying Honda in the UK via the Blaupunkt (Bosch) Travelpilot product, and also because the system seems to be high end. There is a Yahoo poster who says it is Trimble, but he hasn't cited any source for that conclusion. From the descriptions I've read, the in-car system is more sophisticated than Neverlost, so I doubt it belongs to Orbi. Other GPS engine possibilities include Rockwell, Matsushita or JRC.
