The future of navigation |
|
The European market leader in navigation systems TOMTOM introduces a new traffic information system called HD traffic in Switzerland. TOMOTOM already introduced the service a year before in the Netherlands. By using different traffic data streams and a GSM connection, the navigation system offers accurate traffic jam information, calculates the delays and offers alternative less busy routes. Apart from the traditional national traffic information HD traffic makes use of the GSM signals of Vodafone users and from HD traffic users that that okayed their data to be used. After Nokia bought the map maker Navteq and TOMTOM bought mapmaker Teleatlas, the future will tell which company will dominate the navigation market.
