TeleAtlas to supply Map Data to SpotScout
TeleAtlas has teamed up with Spotscout – a parking space location based service service. Spotscout will use TeleAtlas’ mapping technology to help it bring parking availability in real time. SpotScout’s software solution is designed to help drivers find information about available parking spaces via a mobile information network. Combined with Tele Atlas’ highly accurate and up-to-date digital maps, subscribing mobile navigation system users will be able to quickly “spotscout” for and reserve a parking space that a “spotscaster” near them owns, leases or plans to vacate.
“SpotScout is building a unique mobile social networking tool,” said Jay Benson, Tele Atlas Vice President of Business Development. “We are collaborating to deliver useful content that helps people make even greater use of location-based technology and eliminate a main source of frustration for those living in and traveling around populated metro areas.”
SpotScout CEO Andrew Rollert said the company is excited to collaborate with the leading supplier of geographic content for mobile devices and applications. “Tele Atlas has supported our early efforts and is working with us to ensure our market application has the best foundation of up-to-date street data that accurately directs drivers to a precise parking location so they can quickly be on their way.”
