Lebanon, NH, March 26, 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 expansion of digital map
coverage in South America, with increased coverage in Brazil. As part of
its ongoing global expansion strategy, and in response to increased demand
from global customers for highly detailed and accurate maps of all major
countries, Tele Atlas? maps in Brazil now reach more than 65 percent of
the country?s population, with significant coverage focus on economic
growth areas.
With this release, Tele Atlas is successfully bringing to market digital
maps with a considerable increase in navigable city coverage, furthering
the company?s lead position in the Brazil market. Maps for Brazil now
feature detailed street-level map coverage for more than 1,000
municipalities, incorporating major and interconnecting roads, and include
navigable data for more than 150 cities, such as Brasília, Curitiba,
Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and São Paulo. With the
country?s rapidly expanding infrastructure and growing population, Tele
Atlas considers Brazil a strategic region.
?Expanding Tele Atlas? footprint in Brazil demonstrates our commitment to
the growing, dynamic South American market,? said George Fink, president
and chief operating officer, Tele Atlas. ?By continually expanding our
digital map coverage on a global level, we are able to best support our
partners in reaching key markets with their location-based applications
and further developing their businesses.?
Digital maps for Brazil are expected to be available for Tele Atlas
