Tele Atlas North America Maps Rated Highest for Quality and Reliability - Today, Tele Atlas revealed results of tests that show Tele Atlas maps of the United States, Canada and Mexico rate highest in terms of quality and reliability, and in certain markets are up to 10% more accurate than competing maps. From the company. The results indicate that Tele Atlas maps have the most addresses and POIs and the most accurate routes, helping drivers save time and money. In the United States, Tele Atlas maps won in two-thirds of tested markets.
ZoomAtlas enables geo-social networking but is it too much information to share? ZoomAtlas is offering what they refer to as a "Wiki style" service that enables registered users to leave notes at places from their past and connect these notes with their facebook account. At first glance I found the mapping service to be very impressive (the street maps with footprints are much different than anything you've likely seen before). But do I really want to leave a trail of notes at houses where I once lived or places where I worked. or as they put it, do I want to map my life?
