The innovative technology behind TomTom Orbis Maps has overcome complex, technical integration challenges and formed a structure that allows seamless alignment and collaboration of multiple datasets. This approach not only unifies geodata in a single database, but also creates an open base map that can be continuously updated and built upon. That capability is crucial for real-time automotive applications. The maps provide important data for such things as ridesharing, fleet management, electric mobility and, most importantly, autonomous driving. Orbis Maps paves the way for innovative mobility solutions.
