The most outstanding fact is that 100% of companies who chose AtlasMobile API for their maps and location-based platform became semifinalists in NAVTEQ LBS Challenge for over 2 years in all regions.

Dannie Francis, Chief Executive Officer at CellCity said: “Working with the AtlasCT team has been a pleasure.
