OVERVIEW
TOMTOM / ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 / 10
MAPS
We provide global map coverage with fully navigable
maps for 135 countries, covering over 46 million
kilometres and over 4 billion people worldwide.
Mapmaking at TomTom is about efficiently dealing with map
changes, and the full implementation of our state-of-the-art
mapmaking platform is now enabling us to deliver high quality
map content with short delivery cycles. TomTom is the leader in
the use of probe traces in quality mapmaking and in handling
consumer feedback.
Next to the traditional navigable map, we also produce high-
accuracy Advanced Driving Attributes (ADA) to enable Advanced
Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In addition, we are creating
HD map products on a global scale to enable Autonomous
Driving. By delivering a highly accurate border-to-border model
of the road, our HD Map enables a self-driving vehicle to see
beyond its sensors. Together, these advanced map features
extend the range of view for the vehicle while supporting
smoother, safer and more efficient driving scenarios. In 2015, we
launched RoadDNA, our proprietary precise localisation
technology. HD Map and RoadDNA together represent the most
accurate and robust technology in the market today to provide
real-time information about a vehicle’s precise location on a map
and on the road whilst coping with changes in the environment.
TRAFFIC
We have a comprehensive product portfolio for
traffic and travel information as well as road data
analytics. We create real-time traffic and historical
traffic information for highways, major roads and
secondary roads. This information is available in 50
countries.
Our traffic service provides drivers highly accurate
measurements of traffic jams and delays for better route
calculation and expected times of arrival (ETAs). We use a wide
range of sources to generate real-time traffic information. An
important source of traffic data comes from our own community
input that delivers over 8 billion speed measurements per day.
Our traffic technology intelligently combines the data, including
weather, from all available sources into a database with both
traffic flow and incident data for the entire road network
covered.
NAVIGATION
NavKit, our state-of-the-art navigation engine, is the
foundation for many of our products and delivers
best-in-class dynamic routing performance. NavKit is
available in 135 countries.
Our navigation software is based on the NDS map format fully
leveraging its incremental map update capabilities. Our
navigation engine provides interfaces (APIs) that enable our
customers to develop a fully customised navigation application
on any device or platform. NavKit can be provided with an award
winning User Interface. NavKit navigation technology is also
offered with cloud-based services that enable hybrid navigation
and storage facility for personal navigation data to allow for a
seamless navigation experience across different devices.
