their own personalised points-of-interest data on top of Tele
Atlas` map database.
"Space Machine has a long-standing relationship with Tele Atlas,
and we have chosen Tele Atlas for its highly-accurate, up-to-date,
detailed turn-by-turn map database to meet the evolving GPS
navigation needs of our growing PocketMap Navigator user base in
North America," said John Cheong, president of Space Machine Inc.
"Furthermore, Space Machine`s sophisticated customer base can
appreciate the superior positional accuracy of the Tele Atlas map
data especially when used with the latest generation of GPS
receivers on the market today."
"Navigating with true-to-life, dynamic 3D maps on a PDA is rapidly
gaining momentum among users, especially when combined with
advanced voice technology that can clearly articulate actual street
names at every turn maneuver," said Richard F. Pearlman, vice
president of telematics and navigation for Tele Atlas in North
America. "Space Machine is setting a new standard of excellence for
Pocket PC-based personal GPS navigation and Tele Atlas is excited
about powering Space Machine`s PocketMap Navigator with the most
comprehensive, turn-by-turn map data currently available for the
United States."
