In a big move for a little-known company that went public a year ago, Polaris Acquisition Corp. of Fort Lee will take over Hughes Telematics Inc., the maker of navigation systems for Mercedes-Benz cars, for roughly $700 million. The all-stock transaction will give Hughes, backed by Apollo Management LP, $140 million in capital to fund the company's growth. The Chrysler Group and Mercedes-Benz U.S.A. are expected to make Hughes' dashboard navigation systems standard in nearly all of their U.S. production by 2012, Hughes said in a statement Monday.
