What is the difference between NAVTEQ and Mapsource?

[brookshuang]

I'm planning to buy a GPS, but there are two types of software, NAVTEQ and Mapsource. I can't find and I don't know the difference between this two... Can someone tell me the difference of those two?

Thanks in advance.

NAVTEQ is a company that makes mapping software used by probably 85% of all GPS units. Mapsource is a Garmin mapping program for your pc that can be used to send and receive Information to and from your GPS unit.

yongavery, Welcome to the CH forums. I am very curious as to why you felt it necessary to quote the "quote" in the immediately above response to the O/P (not even a period out of place), Is it because you are new to the forums and just wanted to throw a stone into the pool to see the ripple?truenorth
