Global Coverage Expands

  02/03/2009
The first navigable databases for Angola, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia in Africa from Tele Atlas have become available, facilitating Tele Atlas customers such as Google and TomTom to launch solutions across the continent. The database also includes coverage for the French Overseas Territories of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin.
 

Road navigation in Africa

The recently-launched Africa database now encompasses coverage for more than 1.1 million kilometres, more than 290,000 POIs, and coverage of Botswana, Egypt, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa. In South Africa alone, research leader GfK Group reports that Tele Atlas maps power 99% of the personal navigation units currently deployed. Tele Atlas partners in the global personal navigation, wireless, Internet, automotive and enterprise navigation solutions markets now have access to navigable digital maps for Northern, Southern and Eastern Africa, demonstrating the company's continued commitment to expand in the region.

Subsequent African database products are planned to include additional street network coverage and countries, rich POI content and Tele Atlas' extensive range of enhancement products such as 3D landmarks and detailed city maps.
