Tele Atlas, a leading global provider of digital map data and other geographic content, and TomTom, a leading navigation solutions provider and a close partner of Tele Atlas, took home the highest accolades in their categories at the Telematics Update Detroit 2005 show. Tele Atlas was chosen as the Best Technology/Telematics Solution and the TomTom GO was awarded the prize for Best Navigation Product.
Tele Atlas’ database is a highly accurate reproduction of today’s street network, enabling turn-by-turn route guidance on a high percentage of European, U.S. and Canadian roads.
TomTom, which uses Tele Atlas’ highly accurate, turn-by-turn digital map content in its GO and other market-leading product families, has enjoyed extraordinary success following the company’s launch in Amsterdam in 1991. In large part, it was due to its relationship with TomTom that Tele Atlas shipped over 1.5 million digital maps for personal navigation solutions in Europe and North America last year, placing the company in an ideal position for worldwide leadership in this exploding market sector. These findings were based on market figures for calendar year 2004, compiled by such industry analysts as Canalys (Reading, UK) and IDC (Framingham, MA USA).
"The TomTom GO’s features – ease-of-use, portability, and accessibility, coupled with map data and points of interest from Tele Atlas - helped make us winners at the Telematics Update show," said Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom USA. "The strong global relationship the two companies have developed over the years has definitely been instrumental in that success."
"Tele Atlas and TomTom have experienced great momentum in the personal navigation marketplace through mutual respect and hard work," said George Fink, president and COO, Tele Atlas. "Winning awards in our respective categories at Telematics Update is further validation of our efforts and the success of our collaboration."
