Reuters article

The acquisition would give Nokia -- which is looking for new revenue sources as the cellphone industry matures -- a stronghold in the navigation industry. With a market value of $7.6 billion, Navteq would be one of Nokia's largest takeovers

Others like Garmin and TomTom use Navteq data so I hope the impact to them would be minimal
