AND delivers digital maps to Wayfinder
1 December 2005 - AND Automotive Navigation Data now provides detailed digital maps of
Eastern Europe to leading product and service supplier of mobile location products Wayfinder
Systems. The agreement allows Wayfinder to expand its existing coverage with in-demand but
hard-to get areas for the mobile navigation products.
"With the availability of detailed map data from AND for Central and Eastern Europe we will be able to
respond to customer demand in these areas, starting with people in Slovenia and Croatia," says
Magnus Nilsson, CEO, Wayfinder Systems.
With the new, street-level map data of cities around Central and Eastern Europe Wayfinder's strategy
for geographical expansion continues. Wayfinder Navigator is compatible with the majority of mobile
phones on the market today and the number of compatible mobile phones continuously increases.
"The success of today's personal navigation devices is depending on the accuracy and availability of
geographic map data" said Maarten Oldenhof, CEO at AND. "We are proud to be working with
Wayfinder in order to bring navigation to new regions in Europe."
