About

Tele Atlas was a Netherlands-based digital mapping company founded in 1984 that delivered digital maps and dynamic content for navigation and location-based services. The company provided map coverage of over 200 countries and territories, supplying data to automotive navigation manufacturers, mobile companies, and internet mapping services including Google Maps. Its fleet of mapping vans equipped with cameras and 3D scanning lasers collected real-world street data at scale. After a bidding war between TomTom and Garmin, Tele Atlas was acquired by TomTom in 2008 for approximately €2.9 billion and became a wholly owned subsidiary. At the time of acquisition, the company had approximately 1,889 employees and annual revenues of €308 million.
