Tele Atlas, a leading global provider of digital maps and dynamic content for navigation and location based solutions (LBS), announced an agreement with Argentina-based Datamap to develop and deliver digital maps and related content covering Latin America’s second largest economy.
Under the terms of the agreement, Tele Atlas will gain access to Datamap’s existing database of more than 200,000 kilometers of navigable roads in Argentina, including map information for three major cities – Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Rosario, and will make it immediately available with additional content such as points of interest (POIs) to its personal navigation, wireless, Internet, automotive and enterprise customers worldwide. Datamap will continue to monitor the country’s road network for changes, providing updates to Tele Atlas on a regular basis.
Tele Atlas currently offers maps covering 75 countries around the world, including fully navigable maps of Brazil and Mexico. Latin America is an important region for Tele Atlas and its industry partners; the company will continue to expand its Latin American offering in the future with map coverage planned to be available in 2009, including Chile and Uruguay.
Further demonstrating commitment to the market, Tele Atlas also announced the formation of new regional headquarters in Buenos Aires, headed by Director of Latin America Data Sourcing James O’Gorman.
