Mio is partnering with ATX, a “telematics” company, to build connected GPS devices. ATX will provide the wireless know-how and infrastructure and Mio will integrate it into its proprietary navigation software, a move that we think was planned for a long time when Mio decided to create its own software instead of using a third party’s product. This is clearly the next step for GPS devices: they have to be connected to receive traffic info, real-time updates, gas prices and most importantly be able to receive an address from a computer (think from Google Maps) and be managed from there.
