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.

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.
