Tele Atlas has announced that Vodafone Group has deployed Tele Atlas maps and location content in the recently launched Vodafone 360 (which is Vodafone’s attempt at aggregating a whole suite of services on devices). Vodafone apparently also uses Tele Atlas digital maps and location-based content across its location-based services (LBS) and navigation offerings.
Powered by Tele Atlas maps, Vodafone 360 “Maps and Places” features enable customers to:
- Navigate with turn-by-turn maps and voice guidance;
- Connect with friends on maps and share their locations with each other in real time so users can see each other on the map;
- Tag the location of favorite places and share with connected friends; and
- Send their location to other friends with an address and map link.
Vodafone 360 featuring Tele Atlas maps is available in Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK. You can find out more about Tele Atlas here, and Vodafone 360 here.
