Powering Worldwide Location-Based Applications

Vodafone will use Tele Atlas digital maps and location-based content across its global footprint for the company's location-based services (LBS) and navigation offerings, according to the agreement the companies have made. They will collaborate to enable powerful LBS, routing and mapping applications for mobile users around the world.  

The agreement gives Vodafone access to Tele Atlas' global digital map content and products, including 24 million points of interest (POIs), 3D Landmarks, 2D City Maps and Digital Elevation Models, which give local search application users maps that more closely reflect their surroundings. Vodafone will also gain access to Tele Atlas Speed Profiles, which provides highly accurate speed data to help navigation application users find the most optimal routes and far more accurately estimate travel times.
