We don’t just drive – we drive intelligently
Tele Atlas uses a fleet of sophisticated

enriches our map database. With our patented Mobile Mapping technology,
we collect road details and images with unprecedented accuracy and up

of our fleet are supported by more than 50,000 independent resources
within our network, ranging from zoning boards and public safety
officials to construction companies, truck drivers, partners, and
consumers of our partners’ products. We also use proprietary software
and tools to predict, verify, and report changes taking place
throughout the areas where our partners’ products are in use. As a
result, our data incorporates more authoritative sources of input that
keep our maps fresh.
We provide a 360-degree view of the landscape
Tele Atlas’ unique Mobile Mapping system
is the first to fully integrate a multidimensional, 360-degree view of
the world. Our map data reflects the real world, with vivid
streetscapes and familiar landmarks that bring our maps to life. This
industry-leading technology also speeds both the data acquisition and
map updating process, so that our partners can deliver the
highest-quality maps in the industry, powered by fresh, reliable
content.
