Tele Atlas delivers detailed map coverage of western europe and expands maps of Eastern Europe

Tele Atlas, a leading global geographic content provider, today announced it has reached a major European
milestone by delivering complete digital map coverage of Western Europe. With the addition of detailed Ireland
and Northern Ireland maps to the existing database of countries, Tele Atlas European maps now cover more than
7.8 million total kilometers, the equivalent of traveling around the Equator 195 times or a return trip to the
moon 10 times. Within Western Europe, the database now reaches more than 386 million inhabitants, includes 1.7
million ‘standard’ points-of-interest (POIs) and nearly 90 percent of all house numbers across the region.

In addition, Tele Atlas has made significant advancements in Eastern Europe, incorporating data from the Baltic
states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), and from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Russia. The regional
additions bring Tele Atlas’ total coverage to more than 536,000 kilometers in Central and Eastern Europe. Data
for all of Europe features extensive interconnecting road networks augmented by detailed street networks for
many of the main population centres.

„With the completion of Western Europe and our rapid expansion in Eastern Europe, 43 countries are now fully
represented in our extensive European digital map database,“ said Jack Reinelt, Managing Director and COO of
Tele Atlas Europe, Middle East and Africa. „This milestone is just one example of our continued commitment to
provide detailed and accurate geographic content to our partners and customers building high end local search
and navigation solutions.”

Tele Atlas European digital map coverage incorporates data from a combination of professional drivers,
innovative mobile mapping van technology and other authoritative sources. The data includes detailed
turn-by-turn and address information to ensure the highest level of accuracy. Tele Atlas leads the market with
new product enhancements, including 3D landmarks, terrain elevation data for all of Europe and more than 70
categories of POIs. Additionally, the company offers the most comprehensive coverage for phoneme data in
Western Europe to support all major speech technologies.
