Mon. December 22, 2008; Posted: 01:32 AM

TMOAF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- TomTom, a navigation solutions provider, announced that members of the TomTom Map Share community have made a total of five million map improvements worldwide.

The company said the milestone results from a surging adoption of TomTom's proprietary technology by the TomTom Map Share community, which has grown 1000 percent from half a million users at the beginning of this year to over five million users today.

TomTom Map Share allows drivers to make improvements to their map instantly on their device. Leveraging submissions from its base of 25 million users to date, TomTom is able to deliver the most up-to-date maps. Once checked by TomTom specialists, these updates are made available to the entire Map Share community, ensuring TomTom customers always have access to the most accurate maps.

"Community involvement via Map Share is an essential aspect of TomTom's 'best maps' offering, allowing end users to take an active role in helping TomTom ensure our maps are most in line with real-life driving conditions," said Jocelyn Vigreux, president of TomTom Inc. "To put this five million milestone in perspective: a one-hour trip made anywhere in North America or Europe will be influenced by twenty to thirty Map Share updates. The significance of the milestone also becomes clear when one compares it to the 15,000 reports that Tele Atlas receives on average per month from end users via its online map reporting system, Map Insight."
