Tele Atlas Acquires Digital Map Data of Mexico
Expands In-Country Operations
Coverage of Strategic Country to Provide Seamless Regional Map That Supports Emerging Personal Navigation Market and Commercial Operations
May 29, 2006, Detroit, MI — Tele Atlas, a leading global geographic content provider, announced at Telematics Update Detroit 2006 it is expanding its Latin American map coverage with the acquisition of detailed source data covering Mexico’s highway and street network. The company also announced it will grow its operations in Mexico with the opening of an office focused on sourcing and data validation.
A popular tourist destination and an emerging market for personal navigation systems; Mexico is also one of the world’s largest producers of consumer goods. “Mexico’s ports are experiencing a boom in container traffic, and there is growing need for maps that seamlessly facilitate commercial traffic from the factory to the warehouse to the store between Canada, the United States and Mexico,” said Mike Gerling, Tele Atlas COO of the Americas. “Our acquisition of detailed highway and street source data answers customer requirements for highly accurate digital map data to support not only commercial but consumer activity, as well.”
Tele Atlas supplies digital map data across a range of markets, including government, personal navigation, Internet and wireless markets. Gerling said the acquisition will also benefit many non-commercial and consumer-focused partners, including government entities looking to better track border activities.
President Tony Stroncheck of Promiles, a software development company for the trucking industry and Tele Atlas partner, said that the availability of Mexico data is vital to his customers’ business. “They are actively moving operations to Mexico, and want the same types of tools, devices and technologies available to them in other markets. To date we haven’t had a quality map on which to base our applications. We’re excited that Tele Atlas’ source data will help us deliver accurate map-based applications that not only guide our customers’ operations, but protect them as well.”
Tele Atlas has provided digital map coverage in Latin America for nearly ten years. The Mexico maps will enrich a database that already includes more than seven million miles of roads in Canada, the United States, Brazil and Argentina. To date, Tele Atlas maps cover more than 50 countries across Europe, Asia/Pacific and the Americas regions.

It is good to see Tele Atlas adding new countries to their list. But I would still like to see Tele Atlas map the Channel Islands, the Isle of Mann, and Ireland! _________________ Robert.

I can understand your frustration, especially given your location. I'm just glad to see Tele Atlas continuing to expand into new areas while bettering their existing service.
