TomTom Orbis Maps sets new standard for mapmaking with unprecedented coverage and visualization
09 January 2024 - 5:30PM
TomTom (TOM2), the location technology specialist, today announced
a milestone in the roll-out of its new TomTom Orbis Maps. The maps
now feature unprecedented coverage, including an industry-leading
86 million kilometers of transportation networks. Combining the
best of open and proprietary data sources and adding advanced
visualization, TomTom's mapmaking platform delivers richer,
fresher, and more visually attractive map content.
Drawing on the power of AI and machine learning,
TomTom Orbis Maps taps into the richness of OpenStreetMap (OSM),
with its millions of active editors. The company's mapmaking
platform integrates this ‘super source’ with many other public
sources and proprietary data to create a map that can power the
most advanced use cases ranging from on-demand services to
automated driving.
TomTom’s new Orbis Maps are based on the
standard specification as agreed and promoted by the Overture Maps
Foundation, co-founded by TomTom, AWS, Meta, and Microsoft,
bringing uniformity and consistency to location data. The scalable
way in which it manages and aggregates data becomes even more
powerful as TomTom’s mapmaking platform supports the flexibility
for customers to add their proprietary data to the map and build
custom solutions.
TomTom Orbis Maps also powers the company's new
premium map display solution that provides a more realistic view of
the surroundings, enabling an impressively immersive 3D navigation
experience for drivers. The highly customizable map
visualization solution includes map elements such as lanes,
buildings, vegetation, and atmospheric effects, and allows for an
overlay of dynamic layers like traffic, EV, and other safety and
comfort services.
"I’m extremely proud that we can offer maps that
are rich, fresh, and versatile and are based on a standard that is
increasingly adopted by the industry," said Mike Schoofs, Chief
Revenue Officer, TomTom. "We are working closely with companies
ranging from startups to leaders in tech and automotive as we roll
out our new maps. They all recognize the value TomTom Orbis Maps
brings through high-quality, reliable maps that are easy to
integrate and future-proof. TomTom is unlocking the power of
collaborative mapmaking, leading to a map that is growing faster
than any other."
