How does Tele Atlas deliver up-to-date points of interest (POIs)?
Tele Atlas partners with specialized, world-class content providers whose core business is to gather information related to specific categories of POIs and update their information in real time. These relationships enable Tele Atlas to offer 26 million POIs worldwide, more than any other digital map data provider. For example, our partnership with Wcities, a producer of multilingual destination guides for more than 2,100 cities worldwide, enables application developers serving a variety of markets – from wireless and portable navigation to Internet and automotive – to offer their users dynamic, rich, location-based content that helps them easily find tourist attractions and hotel, dining, shopping, and entertainment options around the world. It also includes weather, show times, and detailed event information for more than 100,000 events.
