AND (Automotive Navigation Data), provider of worldwide digital mapping used for navigation and location-based services (LBS) around the world, announced that it has released street level maps for Germany. With this release AND continues to expand its road coverage for Western Europe and to provide the best alternative to Navteq and Tele Atlas in the market for digital maps and navigation.

The German map includes comprehensive navigation features and is in line with the high quality specifications defined by AND and its customers. The digital map offers full coverage, is fully navigable and includes house number ranges and postal codes. The digital map covers almost 1.1 million kilometres and 66,000 cities and villages.

"With the release of street level maps for Germany we have taken another significant step in pursuing our ambition to complete our coverage of Western Europe with high quality detailed maps. Earlier this year we released similar high quality maps for Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands and in 2008 we plan to release maps for all the remaining countries in Western Europe with the same street level information." according to Maarten Oldenhof, CEO of AND Automotive Navigation Data.
