NEW! Tele Atlas Delivers Speed Profiles for Taiwan
Tele Atlas announced the availability of Speed Profiles in Taiwan, the first complete historic speed product in Asia built with insight from local drivers that enables navigation system users find the fastest routes and far more accurately estimate travel times.
For the first time we can see the true traffic situation in Taiwan, thanks to GPS measurements shared by the community. This is especially important in densely populated countries like Taiwan, whose traffic jams are some of the most complex and chaotic in the world. Here, the richness of Tele Atlas Speed Profiles shows the depth of congestion in Taipei at 9 AM during peak weekday commuting hours. Comparatively, Speed Profiles for 9 PM in the same area show a different picture of the driving experience.

Tele Atlas Community Input News
On 28 September, Tele Atlas launched the latest version of MultiNet. Thanks to community input, Tele Atlas leveraged anonymous GPS measurements from portable navigation devices users in combination with other sources and processes to produce significant realignment of road network geometry. In this example of Germany’s major freeway network, the green lines indicate realignments in the road geometry in the latest Tele Atlas database release; most of the realignments involved shifts of a few feet. In this photo of a roadway segment in Germany, the blue lines represent the geometry in Tele Atlas’ previous database; the orange lines represent the realigned geometry in the new Tele Atlas database, based on the GPS measurements shared by portable navigation device users.
Notably, in the June 2009 release of MultiNet, Tele Atlas used community input to help generate new road geometry. A previous version of Tele Atlas' database included 12,000 kilometers or roads in Romania. Thanks to community input, the database now contains more than 18,000 additional kilometers of roads, helping to very quickly make the map of the country more complete.
