Overview
When it comes to mapping our world’s roads, TomTom is a pioneer and one of the most experienced firms in the industry.
To keep its maps as fresh as possible, TomTom uses an array of sources, including government information, survey vehicles and community input.
But there’s one source that stands unique in its accuracy, reliability and value to the company: mobile mapping vans, or MoMas for short. Thanks to MoMa vans, the company’s maps continue to become ever more detailed and refined.
In 2023, Terra Visus announced a partnership with TomTom to provide licensed global coverage street-level data.
The partnership has enabled Terra Visus to offer its customers access to TomTom’s street-level data captured with it's fleet of MoMa vehicles, which includes high-resolution, geo-referenced spherical imagery and LiDAR. This data is available through Terra Visus’s street-level data platform, which makes it easy to license for integration into a variety of applications.
