A nokia N95 related pressrelease from TeleAtlas:
Orlando, FL, CTIA Wireless 2007, March 27, 2007 – Tele Atlas (FSE: TA6, EUNV: TA), a leading global provider of digital maps and dynamic content for navigation and location-based solutions, today announced the availability of Tele Atlas Connect™, which provides digital map coverage for more than 140 countries. A complement to the company’s comprehensive MultiNet™ global digital map database, Tele Atlas Connect has already been selected by Nokia for the N95 multimedia device, which is the first product to leverage the data and help users initiate local searches all over the world.
Tele Atlas Connect features basic mapping and routing functionalities, including cross-border routing, and is intended to provide partners with a single, seamless global coverage solution for digital map and location-based applications. Designed to simplify development, Tele Atlas Connect is geometrically and logically seamed with the MultiNet database and is available in standard database formats to ensure ease-of-use.
“Our partners are seeking broader coverage solutions in order to strengthen their own products and meet the demands of their increasingly global markets,” said Basak Ozer, vice president, global product marketing, Tele Atlas. “With the introduction of Tele Atlas Connect, we continue to deliver on our commitment to providing global digital map data solutions that help enable business users and consumers find more of what they need, wherever they may be.”
We have seen implementation of this already on the prototypes and production models of the N95… so interesting timing of TeleAtlas for publishing this press-release: It can already show the world proof of what the product is capable of.
