TomTom and Uber Deepen Ties to Develop Superior Mapping Experiences
13 Ottobre 2020 - 6:00PM
TomTom (TOM2), the location technology specialist, and Uber
have teamed-up and will continue integrating TomTom’s maps, traffic
data, and Maps APIs across Uber’s global platform. In addition,
Uber will serve as a trusted map editing partner to TomTom, leading
to even more accurate navigation and location experiences, routing,
fares, and arrival time estimates. This will benefit customers,
drivers, and delivery people on Uber’s platform.
Uber’s integration of TomTom’s data and Maps
APIs will ensure a seamless mapping experience in Uber apps across
more than 10,000 cities around the world. TomTom regularly
processes close to two billion map changes per month, which helps
it maintain the freshest maps. Uber and TomTom will also work
together to ensure map updates reflect real-world changes like new
roads, turn restrictions, street closures, and more. Uber will
observe and report on-the-ground insights from completed trips and
deliveries; TomTom will use updates collected from its
partners to provide even more accurate map data to TomTom
customers.
“We look forward to working more closely with
Uber and delivering even better location data to improve the
mobility of the users of TomTom’s products everywhere,” said Anders
Truelsen, Managing Director, TomTom Enterprise. “TomTom’s full
suite of industry-leading datasets and services, including highly
accurate maps, traffic and Maps APIs, will help any company to
enhance their location-enabled solutions.”
“Accurate mapping is at the heart of Uber’s
platform, which is why we’re thrilled to continue teaming up with
TomTom,” said Michael Weiss-Malik, Director of Product, Maps and
GSS at Uber. “Our partnership will help create even more dynamic
mapping experiences in our global marketplace.”
