Last I checked, one of Garmin's key mapping data providers is Here Maps (formerly NavTeq). "Here" is owned by a consortium of companies (primarily VW, BMW & Daimler) and licenses its data to a number of companies. Apple can become another licensee.

For its massive cash hoards, I gotta say that Apple is neither strategic nor quick to the table with acquisitions.

Another option would be TomTom, Apple is using their data already.
