TOMTOM FREE MAP UPDATES 2014 LICENSE

This agreement brings together two market leaders. TomTom products will be NAVTEQ map ready following the planned release of the new TomTom RIDER product. TomTom's selection of NAVTEQ data for the TomTom RIDER product makes the integration of NAVTEQ maps of the United States, Canada and Europe possible across all TomTom navigation solutions. The RIDER product will be launched later this year.

TOMTOM FREE MAP UPDATES 2014 LICENSE

NAVTEQ (NYSE: NVT), a leading global provider of digital map data for vehicle navigation and location-based solutions, has signed a license agreement with TomTom, a leading navigation solution provider, to feature NAVTEQ(TM) maps in TomTom's new RIDER product, which is TomTom's first navigation product made specifically for motorcycles worldwide. Ah well, I guess this could be a good excuse to go buy a Harley just so I can use TomTom Rider. Say it ain't so! Damn, and I thought just perhaps TomTom Go would finally get good U.S. I happened to check out Tele Atlas's website and came across a news release stating that TomTom and Tele Atlas signed a 3 year extension through 2007. It appears that TomTom is only licensing the NAVTEQ map ONLY for the TomTom Rider (motorcycle GPS) product and not other popular TomTom products such as TomTom Go.

TomTom finally heard the cries of its frustrated users and inked a deal with NAVTEQ.

Sorry Tele Atlas, but it's true, your maps suck! I was thinking about buying a TomTom Go, but I figured they were still using the crappy Tele Atlas maps, so I waited until TomTom finally realized the superiority of the NAVTEQ maps. I say it's about friggin' time! TomTom has one of the best GUI front-ends to any GPS navigation system, but the maps they previously licensed from Tele Atlas plain sucked.

TomTom finally licenses superior NAVTEQ GPS maps.
