~ Car makers can now conduct HAD application testing within miles of their R&D facilities ~
Detroit, Michigan, 3 June 2015 – TomTom (TOM2) today announces the availability of Highly Automated Driving (HAD) map content in the metro Detroit area. Car makers and HAD-related companies can now use TomTom’s high-definition maps for precise vehicle positioning, enabling future self-driving cars to see beyond their sensors.

“By making high-definition map content readily available, we can make HAD a reality faster, enabling further innovation in Detroit, the heart of the North American automotive industry,” said Alain De Taeye, Member of the TomTom Management Board. “Intense demand for high-definition maps is fueled by automated driving as a new growth driver. As an independent supplier with one of the world’s most sophisticated mapping platform, we are in a unique position to provide highly precise map content for all members of the HAD ecosystem.”

TomTom continues to pioneer leading technologies that will allow the emergence of automated cars. At CES 2015, the Audi A7 piloted driving concept ‘Jack’, featuring TomTom HAD prototype maps successfully completed the long-distance test drive, over 560 miles from San Francisco to Las Vegas.

At TU-Automotive Detroit, on June 4th at 9.30 am EST, Alain De Taeye will unveil more details during his keynote ‘Real-Time Maps Transform the Location Experience’. The HAD map, covering the stretch of road network between Farmington Hills and Ann Arbor, including I-696, 96, and 275, US-23 and M-14, will be available in June.

TomTom hits the Cloud
~ In-car navigation experience seamlessly extended to devices outside the car ~

Detroit, Michigan, 3 June 2015 – TomTom (TOM2) today announces that it now enables car manufacturers to seamlessly extend the user experience from their in-dash navigation system to the digital world beyond the car. Smartphones, tablets, wearables and laptops can automatically sync with the car system, wherever end-users are.

This whole connected navigation experience is powered by future-proof cloud-based components, designed to be used by developers of embedded systems, mobile apps and web portals for the automotive industry. These modular components enable seamless navigation across different devices, all within a consistent OEM-branded universe. For example, pre-trip planning on a website, departure warnings on a wearable device and last-mile navigation on a smartphone can automatically synchronise with the in-car navigation system to offer a more personalised experience.

"We’re delighted to announce that we now allow car makers, developers and third-parties to extend the reach of embedded navigation systems”, said Jan-Maarten de Vries, VP Automotive Product Marketing at TomTom. “With TomTom’s world-class technologies, OEMs can now offer a compelling, branded navigation experience on user devices.”

TomTom announces new technology milestone towards real-time maps

~ The world’s first NDS-powered navigation portal is now live ~

Detroit, Michigan, 3 June 2015 – TomTom (TOM2) has today launched the world’s first NDS* powered navigation portal giving users access to fresher maps.
