Tele Atlas Turkey Data Doesn't Match Turkish Requirements

GPS Business News reports that Tele Atlas this week informed its customers via e-mail that authorities in Turkey have held its data of that country, as it does not meet state requirements defined by the Turkish military mapping agency. Tele Atlas uses the UN country designations, which do not match those of Turkey at this time.

While this is a complex matter, I applaud Tele Atlas for its transparency.

This is not correct. TeleAtlas Turkey Map is the only Navigation Map licenced in Turkey by Military Mapping agency. Required applications and approvals taken from the agency before the commercial releases of Turkey Map. This has nothing to do with Turkey Maps.
