Tele-atlas Leading the Way in GPS Mapping Technology

Did you know that every year around 20% of the road network changes? This means that there could now be a roundabout where there was once a crossroads; the short cut you used to take could now be a one-way street; or that old dirt track could now be a major road. To keep up with the dynamic state of our roads, you need not only the latest and greatest GPS devices, but you need the best up-to-date maps available.
