    Niemand spricht von einem WECHSEL. Laut Pressemitteilung wird ausschliesslich der TT RIDER mit Navteq Karten ausgeliefert werden... Kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass TomTom TeleAtlas so schnell den Rücken zuwenden wird.


    stimmt, wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil!! :D


    Gruß Rolf :]

    Welchen Sinn sollten 2 Kartenhersteller haben?
    Verursacht doch nur doppelte Kosten.



    Ich denke Tomtom wechselt, wie es damals Navigon tat und das ist eine sehr gute Entscheidung.

    Nein TomTom wechselt nicht generell:


    Hier der Pressebericht von TA (leider mitein paar Sonderzeichenfehler, aber ich denke man kann es trotzdem erkennen.)



    Tele Atlas and TomTom Announce Three-Year Extension to Global Agreement
    Worldwide leaders in personal navigation (PNAV) extend technology and
    distribution partnership covering most popular TomTom platforms


    June 7, 2005, Gent, Belgium and Amsterdam, Netherlands -- Tele Atlas N.V.,
    a leading global provider of digital map data and other geographic
    content, and TomTom, a leading navigation solution provider, jointly
    announced that the companies have extended their technology and
    distribution agreement through the end of 2007. Under the agreement, Tele
    Atlas will remain the key provider of digital maps and other content such
    as Points of Interest (POIs) to TomTom for its use in the TomTom GO,
    TomTom Navigator and TomTom Mobile platforms throughout Western Europe and
    North America.


    The agreement is an extension of a master agreement in place between the
    companies since 1997. Under the terms of the agreement, which is
    worldwide in scope, TomTom will continue to use Tele Atlas maps in its
    most popular product lines for those navigating in the automobile and on
    foot.


    âTomTom and Tele Atlas have been close partners since the mid-1990âs, when
    the entire personal navigation category was highly speculative and in its
    formative stages,â said Alain De Taeye, Tele Atlas founder and CEO. âThe
    TomTom team has taken an innovative vision and turned it into a successful
    business reality on a worldwide basis. We are extremely pleased that they
    have chosen to continue with Tele Atlas as their technology supplier and
    business partner as they expand their product lines and market presence
    around the world.â


    âIn order to become successful in a new market, one needs much more than
    great technology,â commented Harold Goddijn, TomTom chief executive
    officer. "We have worked closely with Tele Atlas over the years as our
    digital map and geographic content partner, and we continue to work with
    them in distribution channel development and in building strong business
    relationships in all our major markets. That spirit of partnership gives
    us the confidence to extend our agreement for the next several years.â
