Mapping enables businesses to accurately understand geographic relationships, improve location-based analysis and solve business problems. Tele Atlas MultiNet data provides the digital mapping foundation for a wide variety of GIS and location-based applications, such as Internet and desktop mapping, in-car navigation systems, 911 services, wireless content services, electronic tracking devices and more.
And key to those problem-solving navigation, GIS and location-based applications is the accuracy and quality of your digital mapping data. With Tele Atlas data, you can be confident that you've made the superior choice.
In fact, Tele Atlas is the only map data with proven data architecture for integrating real-time, location specific data - like our real-time traffic - into your solution.
The TeleAtlas Difference
Most map data vendors, including Tele Atlas, obtain their raw data from government resources. What happens with that data afterwards, however, is what differentiates one vendor from the rest. Tele Atlas geo-referencing technologists apply state-of-the-art processes using commercial and proprietary aerial imagery and reposition millions of road segments to better match their real-world geographic locations.
This is called "repositioning" and we've done far more of it than other digital map data providers. In fact, in a study of data from 2nd Quarter 2001 using an independent analysis program and covering the Top 100 Census Urbanized Areas, Tele Atlas repositioned 92% of the population living in those areas while our nearest competitor did only 64%.
Our expert staff of technicians, geographers, data collectors and surveyors then work further to improve, enhance and validate the data through extensive data editing processes and actual in-field data collection. The result is a seamless, high-quality, current map database that is highly accurate, comprehensive and capable of delivering the benefits your applications need.
Turn-by-Turn
Tele Atlas is proud to introduce the most powerful turn-by-turn map database ever built for North America. With an extensive list of turn-by-turn attributes, superior geocoding and positional accuracy, seamless coverage for the U.S. and Canada, and embedded real-time traffic information, our database contains the most comprehensive source of digital map data available today.
Tele Atlas provides 100% basic attributed coverage for all of the U.S. and Canada. Basic attributed maps contain a complete street network, address ranges, ZIP codes, and geographic area codes. Over 80% of the U.S. population is covered by image attributed maps that feature an even higher degree of positional accuracy and road network connectivity.
Especially noteworthy is our fully attributed coverage for the U.S., covering 56% of the U.S. population. This comprehensive coverage provides:
- Superior turn-by-turn attributes for reliable route calculation and route guidance. With fully attributed turn-by-turn information, our street network databases enable navigation and routing applications that simply work better. Our large, professional field data collection force drives the North American road network each day, gathering and updating critical details to enrich the features and attributes of our map data.
- Better geocoding with better origins, destinations and POI's. We enable our customers to provide superior address locations of origins, destinations, and points of interest. You have to get the address locations right before you can route drivers efficiently, and Tele Atlas delivers.
- Better geometric and positional accuracy for realistic-looking maps and more accurate GPS performance.
- Our superior "positional accuracy" delivers data that is within 12 meters (or better!) for over 80% of the U.S. population.
- Our superior "geometric accuracy" ensures that map data features are topologically correct, with proper connectivity to other features.
- Real-world features in our database give our customers the level of completeness needed for high-performance applications. Features and attributes are kept up-to-date, providing the most current information possible.
- Seamless North American (U.S. and Canada) coverage for door-to-door and coast-to-coast routing, both within the United States and between the U.S. and Canada. Only Tele Atlas provides 100% basic road network coverage for both the U.S. and Canada (in an alliance with DMTI Spatial), with rich attributes and turn-by-turn data in many areas.
- The ONLY direct traffic-linked maps and real-time traffic feed for detailed traveler information, better navigation systems and dynamic route calculation (U.S. only). The new Tele Atlas map database delivers the nation's pre-eminent traffic feed, providing incident information for 93 markets -- the most comprehensive coverage offered by any traffic provider. With over 350,000 traffic reporting locations embedded into our maps, we directly link dynamic traffic content to our map data, providing real-time incident information for 98% of the U.S. population in the most congested areas.
