To be precise, it costs $8.2 Billion Dollars to acquire the data...but now that Nokia owns Navteq I am going to have very high expectations for their mapping packages. Thus far, Nokia's GPS solutions have uniformly sucked, both in terms of sub-par GPS performance, lousy software and poor map sources. It seems like half the people on this board spend their time being Nokia apologists. Nokia does a lot of things right and attention should be called to those things, but equally one should call a spade a spade.
