the underwriters an option pursuant to which the underwriters may sell up to 3,783,417

About Tele Atlas
Tele Atlas is a leading provider of digital maps for use in a wide range of navigation, mapping
and geography-related applications. We supply our digital maps to many of the leading providers
of personal navigation products, such as with TomTom, Navigon, Navman, Destinator and Via
Michelin. We also provide digital map data for use in in-car navigation systems installed in many
of the most prestigious brands in the world, including Volkswagen/Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Fiat,
General Motors and Toyota/Lexus as well as to a wide range of major enterprises and
government agencies such as VNU, MapInfo and the US Department of Transportation.
Our digital map database is highly accurate and provides full or partial map coverage of 37
countries on four continents, covering approximately 17.7 million kilometres of roadway in
Europe and North America alone. Through partnerships and joint ventures, we provide partial
digital map coverage of three countries in the Asia-Pacific region, and we will soon add China. In
addition to our maps, we currently offer our customers enriched content from us and third parties,
including access to a pool of over 23 million points of interest worldwide, including fuel stations,
restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions as well as dynamic content such as traffic incident, speed
and flow data, road construction, fuel price and weather information in selected areas.
We have invested significantly in the development and enhancement of our map database and our
proprietary methods and technology to enhance the quality and content of our database and the
processes used to build it. We significantly increased the scale of our North American operations
with the acquisition in July 2004 of Geographic Data Technology, a company that had been
active in the North American digital map industry since 1980.
While we have focused primarily on Europe and, more recently, on North America, we believe
that the market for digital maps is expanding globally and that there are significant opportunities
to sell our digital map products in other countries. We will continue to seek to expand our
coverage in Asia, Eastern Europe and Mexico over the next year. We will also consider strategic
acquisitions where appropriate to build our coverage.
