TomTom's cpp (content production platform) en road dna zijn beiden niet iets dat HERE heeft. Dat wil niet zeggen dat ze het niet kunnen maken.
Dan moeten de drie Duitse autofabrikanten miljoenen extra in HERE investeren om een achterstand van 2-3 jaar in te lopen. De Duitsers hebber er het geld voor maar willen ze het er ook aan besteden? En hoe dan ook loop je die tijd achterstand niet zomaar in.
Beetje flauw van Zonnevlecht om te doen alsof het een soort evangelie is dat hier gepredikt wordt. Just stick to the facts. Complete HAD map voor 1 land (Duitsland) was ook een industry first. Dus de grote drie trotse Duitse autofabrikanten kopen een kaartenmaker en de andere (tomtom) heeft de Duitse autobahn als eerste af. Is ook psychologisch signaal.

TomTom completes the move to the next generation map platform World's first transactional mapmaking platform enables real-time maps Amsterdam, 18 December 2015 – TomTom (TOM2) continues to innovate with completing the move to its new transactional-based mapmaking platform. This platform is the first of its kind in the map industry and a leap forward in mapmaking technologies. It furthers TomTom’s lead in delivering the highest quality and up-to-date maps optimizing on crowdsourced data alongside traditional mapmaking methods. This launch represents a significant milestone for the company and is the critical step to bringing real-time maps to customers.
“We are the first to deliver a global platform that allows for map updates to be continuously released to users,” said Harold Goddijn, CEO at TomTom. “The era of map updates in batches is over, now we can update maps as changes are detected. This puts TomTom in a unique position to start providing the real-time quality and accuracy needed for the future use-cases such as driver assistance applications and highly automated driving.”
TomTom’s new transactional mapmaking platform brings great advantages in efficiencies and minimises the time between detecting changes in the real-world and updating the map on an end-user’s device. A change can pass through TomTom’s mapmaking process, be fully quality assured in real-time, and end up in a customer’s map in just minutes. This new platform can scale to process new sources of sensor data efficiently, furthering TomTom’s lead in optimising professional and community input mapmaking techniques. End-users using TomTom’s real-time maps will always have accurate and up-to-date maps across automotive, mobile and location-based online applications.
“This has been a huge, complex project for the maps team at TomTom and I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved and the time in which it has been achieved,” said Charles Cautley, Managing Director Maps & Licensing at TomTom. “There is a lot of potential with this new platform and with it we look forward to delivering the high-quality map content that meets the growing customer location requirements.”
