Leading the marketplace

Tele Atlas is the world leader in key segments of the navigation market, including personal navigation, wireless/LBS, emergency services, and fleet-based services. Our digital map database enables consumers to find destinations, guides travelers with landmarks, and provides accurate data. We’re also technology leaders: we hold more than 34 map-related patents, and we’re constantly adding innovative new features to our database, such as 3D landmarks and city maps, that differentiate our partners’ solutions.

We don’t just drive – we drive intelligently

Tele Atlas uses a fleet of sophisticated survey vehicles and Mobile Mapping Vans to capture the information that enriches our map database. With our patented Mobile Mapping technology, we collect road details and images with unprecedented accuracy and up to fives times more quickly than traditional methods allow. The efforts 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.

We help travelers enjoy the journey

Tele Atlas takes navigation to the next level – not only accurately routing people to their destinations, but also helping them choose the most efficient path. Solutions powered by Tele Atlas do a better job of helping people find more of what they want by suggesting relevant POIs, pinpointing convenient and well-known restaurants and filling stations, locating friends, and providing dynamic traffic information. The result: a safer, more rewarding, and more enjoyable journey.
