AMSTERDAM: TomTom is considering selling its fleet-management business to concentrate on competing head-to-head with Google in car navigation software, it said on Sept 27. 

Shares in the Dutch company jumped by 17% to €7.25 (RM35.15) on the news, but that only recovered about half of the one-day loss suffered last week when Google announced a far-reaching supply deal with a group of carmakers including Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi.
