Global map enhancements include the launch of navigable, turn-by-turn maps for Albania and Senegal and the debut of pedestrian maps for Berlin, London, New York, San Francisco, and Toronto featuring pedestrian-specific geometry, such as footpaths, garden paths and forms of way that are not accessible by car.
The updates also include the introduction of Address Points to enable better geocoding and navigation in Andorra, Denmark, Hong Kong, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Switzerland, as well as the addition of 10 million address points across Europe, bringing total regional coverage to 58 million. Voice maps have been extended to 30 million names and over 40 million phonetic transcriptions, resulting in an improved spoken navigation experience.
“TomTom continues to expand its global map footprint with the addition of more than half a million kilometres of roads,” said Charles Cautley, managing director of TomTom Maps. “We are excited to deliver new global map updates that support navigation, geocoding and other location-based services.”
