According to this [1], they made € 1 Billion in 2010. You could search for updated info though.

Considering that Nokia paid $ 8.1 billion for Navteq, they really need to make money with that.

A few years ago, Google used licensed data from Navteq. But I don't know if that's the case anymore.

Looking at the ToS in maps.google.com, there's no trace of Navteq anymore, but there's mention of them in localized versions of Google Maps. As an example:

UK: http://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/help/terms_maps.html

Canada: http://www.google.com/intl/en_ca/help/terms_maps.html

Argentina: http://www.google.com/intl/es_ar/help/terms_maps.html

Navteq is still there, but maybe, it's just that they forgot to update the ToS (Lazy lawyers?).
