Where's Your GPS Made?
Well, more than likely it's made in Taiwan; almost three quarters of them were made in Taiwan during the first six months of 2007 according to the Market Intelligence Center a part of the Taiwanese government. They shipped around 7.28 million GPS units in the first half of the year, and expect to ship around 11.83 million units in the second half of the year. That's a lot of navigation going on!
As far as the global big three are concerned, I am not sure exactly where all TomTom's units are made, but my TomTom ONE XL was made in China. Most if not all of Garmin's are made in Taiwan as well as Mio's.

Actually the article says 'Taiwan-based makers'. Not made in Taiwan.
So although TomTom is made in China, it is made by Taiwan-based companies like Inventec and Quanta.
