TomTom (TOM2) has launched the world’s first Navigation Data Standard (NDS) powered navigation portal giving users access to fresher maps. This portal called “MyDrive” can be used to plan trips in advance, view the Traffic situation on the road and manage favorites – thus providing a seamless experience to end-users across their entire journey.
MyDrive uses TomTom Traffic, TomTom navigation software and TomTom global maps in NDS format, the innovative worldwide automotive map standard. This is another important milestone to realising real-time maps, a crucial component to enabling Highly Automated Driving cars in the future.
“We are on track with our ambition to become the leading provider of technologies for automated driving,” said Jan-Maarten De Vries, VP Product Management, TomTom Automotive, “The launch of our MyDrive portal is another important step to fuel the inevitable spread of ADAS** which will later evolve into Highly Automated Driving”.
