TomTom recently announced the availability of its latest map products for the Asia Pacific region, delivering new coverage and features for automotive, enterprise and government customers.
“Offering the highest quality maps is TomTom’s mission; the Asia Pacific region is no exception, evidenced by fully attributed coverage for China, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and Brunei,” said Charles Cautley, MD of TomTom Licensing. “Upgrading our mobile mapping vans in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand with the latest technology is further enabling TomTom to ensure our products feature the best attribution possible to support the navigation, geocoding, and other location needs of all our customers,” he added.
Some highlights of the latest product release include the introduction of Voice Maps in Thai and Bahasa Indonesia, the first Voice Maps product supporting tonal languages where different tones distinguish different meanings of a word, visualisation enhanced with additional 3D Landmarks for important buildings, 2D building footprints and Junction Views for complex intersections throughout the region.
Also new are the debut of lane and signpost information added in inner-city areas of central Bangkok. The street network in over 100 cities in India and nearly 83,000 km in China has been upgraded to full attribution, supporting the most demanding navi apps. Lastly, continuous coverage and content expansion and improvements in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam have been done, with the addition of nearly one million Address Points throughout the region.
This update comes after TomTom’s recent signing of a global agreement with Apple to provide the latter with maps and related info.

anyone using Sygic? for smart phones?
Me! Quite good!
i’ve been using sygic before, in my opinion the map is not that updated, similar to tomtom (prior to this news of course). on the other hand the user interface is nicely done though.
I have Sygic in my tablet. I didn’t use it that much. I like papago better. Of all GPS navigation softwares I’ve used (Garmin, Papago, Sygic, Mapit -preinstalled in my Sylphy), I’ll vote for Papago. Sygic POI search function is the worst of them all.
The Papago routing suggested may not be as good as Garmin’s, but the search function is top class. Often, all I need to know is the location of the particular place – which I can find quite fast with Papago. I can go there on my own, even with GPS turned off after that.
