At the CeBIT event earlier this year Tele Atlas has unveiled a developer program Tele Atlas ContentLink. The company bills the program as a unique Web-based program for content production and distribution that gives location-based application developers access to a wide range of up-to-date, specialized content and points of interest (POIs). The program Includes Online Editing Tools Designed to Ensure Pinpoint Accuracy of POIs and Location-Based Application Content. The company notes that there are already more than 12.5 Million POIs available.
Publishers of any size can post content to the portal, and leverage Tele Atlas’ unique editing tools and specialized geocoding to categorize, locate and verify the precise position of their content on Tele Atlas maps. Developers can then search, acquire and download the content to create highly targeted applications and personalized downloads for personal and in-car navigation systems, mobile and wireless devices, Internet solutions and location-based services (LBS). For example, a navigation device could show end-users the nearest locations of a WiFi hotspot or parking spot, or an application could deliver content of specific interest to football enthusiasts in London.
The continuously growing range of available content offered currently includes over 12.5 million POIs, including content from the following publishers:
-- AnchorFree: Free WiFi hotspot locations across North America -- Future Events News Services: U.K. venues for large crowds with significant event information -- Johnson's: U.K. police stations, hospitals and local councils -- LocaKno (KAK Enterprises): U.S. culture and history points of knowledge -- MobileParking LLC: Parking garages and lots in the U.S. -- NearBio: Verified retail biodiesel fueling locations in the U.S. -- Spark Parking: Comprehensive parking facility information -- Spectator Sports: Speedway tracks in the U.K. -- Spotigo: WiFi hotspot locations across Europe and North America -- Multiple-Category POIs for Europe and North America: Millions of POIs across 16 European countries, the U.S. and Canada
