Tele Atlas Selected By ESRI To Power StreetMap Premium

Latest North American and European Data Foundation for Optimal Geocoding,
Routing and Map Display
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Tele Atlas, a leading global provider of digital maps and dynamic content for
navigation and location based solutions, announced that Tele Atlas digital map
data will be added to the upcoming version of ESRI StreetMap Premium. The
enhanced street database works with ESRI`s ArcGIS software to provide geocoding,
routing and high quality map display.

The optimized data structure of StreetMap Premium, achieved through ESRI`s Smart
Data Compression format, ensures ease of use with ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS
Desktop to deliver the highest address geocoding match rates, generate the best
routes and driving directions and produce superior base maps. StreetMap Premium
users have the flexibility to license the latest Tele Atlas maps by geography
(continent, region, country or state/province) and by business function (e.g.,
display, geocoding, and/or routing).

"The Tele Atlas data in ESRI StreetMap Premium enables rich cartographic
display, superior geocoding and efficient cross-border route planning with
turn-by-turn instructions," said Christophe Charpentier, ArcGIS content product
manager, ESRI. "This is the same high quality digital map that powers ESRI
applications such as ArcGIS Business Analyst, ArcPad and ArcGIS Online."

"ESRI StreetMap Premium allows users around the world to easily load the latest
Tele Atlas maps as a convenient, single source," said Todd Schmitt, enterprise
markets manager, Tele Atlas. "We are proud to continue our longstanding support
of ESRI`s integrated ArcGIS platform with fresh maps, developed using stringent
processes and enhanced with community input, to add even more value to ESRI`s
offerings."

StreetMap Premium`s specification ensures its compatibility with the latest
versions of ESRI`s ArcGIS applications, with coordinated releases to ensure data
synchronization as well as format consistency over time.

ESRI and Tele Atlas also announced this week an expanded agreement that makes
Tele Atlas digital maps and content available in a growing number of ESRI`s
leading geographic information system (GIS) applications. This includes content
for millions of points of interest (POIs) available through ArcLogistics
Navigator as well as additional map enhancement products that can further enrich
GIS development. The agreement marks an expansion of the companies` longstanding
industry partnership, which began in 1989.
