No; their demise was the rise of smartphones who can do pretty much everything they can, for free. GPS navigation was commoditized as part of the smartphone arms race.
- cinntaile 4y agoWhat do you mean no? You're saying the same thing, you just added a step to explain why the alternatives were cheaper (free).

- rat9988 4y agoNo, it was not a price point only problem.
- cinntaile 4y agoThat's not at all what I am saying? Tomtom's updates were very expensive though. A smartphone with non-free map alternatives won't get you there so it's not the smartphone either. Both developments were necessary, either one on their own isn't sufficient.
