Navigation and Liability

Via Spatial Law, an interesting question about GPS navigation and legal liability: if somebody who follows faulty directions from a GPS navigation system gets into an accident, and is held liable for that accident (as has in fact occurred), can that driver then turn around and sue the GPS company? Are Garmin and TomTom, for example, liable for any errors in their devices’ directions?
