Worldwide leading 3D digital mapping company, Intermap Technologies, has signed an agreement with Tele Atlas stipulating Intermap to deliver uniform 3D elevation data derived from its 5-meter posted NEXTMap countrywide digital map database.

According to Rik Temmink, Tele Atlas' global vice president of product management, the company is committed to delivering the best visualization product to their customers worldwide, He considered Intermap's NEXTMap digital maps as the baseline standard for true 3D in-dash visualization with the unique ability to provide real world views of not only the road network, but the entire surface of the earth. „We're excited to work with Intermap's NEXTMap terrain data, which allows us to take navigation to the next level with a visually superior product set", he added.

Eric DesRoche, senior vice president of automotive for Intermap regards their first major supply agreement within the automotive industry as a significant accomplishment for the company's automotive division and the industry as a whole.

The uniform and accurate geospatial base layer provided by NEXTMap data, enables Tele Atlas to easily conflate other visual assets such as building models, roads, and landmarks - resulting in a realistic visualization product that matches the outside world. The Company is delivering data assets with a targeted launch into equipped automobiles in late 2010
