Parent article: Microsoft sues TomTom

...and according to pubpat, this patent was completely rejected:

So how can Microsoft still be using it as a basis for a lawsuit? Did they not get the memo?

Pubpat didn't quite get around to updating their pages to reflect the reinstatement of this patent in 2006.
