Tuesday, 01 April 2008

 Las Vegas, CTIA Wireless 2008 — April 1, 2008 — Tele Atlas (FSE: TA6, EUNV: TA), a leading global provider of digital maps and dynamic content for navigation and location-based solutions, is teaming with wireless industry partners to demonstrate a range of innovative location-based services (LBS) and navigation applications that empower the increasingly mobile population to negotiate the world with a greater degree of knowledge, convenience and safety.

At CTIA Wireless in booth #1337, Tele Atlas and its leading industry partners are exhibiting a range of location-based applications; featured companies include:

·          Advanced Geospatial Solutions

·          Mio Technology

·          Pelago

·          Research in Motion (RIM)

·          TeleNav

·          Texas Instruments

·          The Travel Channel

·          Wayfinder and

·          3DVU

 Demonstrating continued commitment to innovation, Tele Atlas will showcase the following technologies and programs at CTIA as well:

§         Tele AtlasÒ 3D City Maps: Highly detailed Tele Atlas 3D City Maps, landmarks and elevation models add recognizable building and landscape representations that enhance end users’ navigation experiences and are resigned for use in navigation systems and location-based applications.

§         Tele Atlas DeveloperLink: Designed to provide Internet, mobile and other next-generation application developers access to technology, business tools and services that can help reduce their time to market and increase their potential for success, Tele Atlas DeveloperLink provides the business and technical expertise developers require to build and market navigation and location-based solutions.

§         Mobile Mapping Technology: Through roof-mounted 360 degree cameras and laser sensors, Tele Atlas’ fleet of innovative Mobile Mapping Vans quickly and efficiently capture information about a road including lane counts, speed limits and other data, giving Tele Atlas the information it requires to regularly update its maps. The vans also collect images of streets, storefronts, road signs and complex intersections that can be incorporated in maps to help users more easily find locations.

§         Pedestrian Navigation:  Designed to help mobile consumers better navigate, route and explore the places they’re visiting at home or abroad, developers incorporating pedestrian-specific attributes from the Tele Atlas map database help enable solutions that achieve comfort and safety and also provide an enhanced experience of walking down the street.

 To see demonstrations of the location-based applications powered by Tele Atlas, or to learn more about the company and its wireless partners, stop by the Tele Atlas booth (#1337) at CTIA Wireless 2008.
