Google Maps and API Now on Same Data: Tele Atlas

I saw this via James who saw it via Mike Blumental. The original post is here. I tracked this to source to point out how tough it is to know all the places where Google makes announcements related to mapping.

As James and Mike and others point out, this appears to be an upshot of the NAVTEQ/Nokia deal. I suspect we'll see more "lining up" as Nokia moves further into geo-related pursuits. Tele Atlas owner TomTom is already pretty far into geo.

Wow, ask and you shall receive: Google announced a new gadget and page to provide better access to its many blogs. Alas, that post was via a Group, but it's a start!

Maybe they stopped using the Navteq data, however TeleAtlas is not the sole map provider. In Turkey the maps are supplied by Basar, also LeadDog, Europa Technologies and AND are still visible in the copyrights.
