ITIS APPOINTED AS UK TRAFFIC DATA PROVIDER TO NAVMAN
ITIS Holdings plc (ITIS) today announces it has agreed a long term contract with
Navman, a leading manufacturer of world class Global Positioning System (GPS)
navigation systems to provide live traffic data to a range of personal
navigation products.
ITIS data will be delivered to individual devices via RDS TMC and will offer
users both a comprehensive overview of traffic conditions and the option of
dynamic route guidance to reroute and avoid traffic delays as they occur.
Navman chose ITIS traffic data after an extensive period of evaluation and
testing comparing the content with other UK traffic information providers.
Commenting on the new contract, Stuart Marks, Chief Executive of ITIS said: 'We
are very pleased to be working with Navman, a company characterised by
originality, innovation and great new products that will now benefit from ITIS's
real time traffic data conveniently delivered via a national network of RDS TMC
transmitters. This adds another top brand to our rapidly growing list of
partners in the personal navigation device market, which now includes Sony, Tom
Tom, Naviflash, CoPilot and Route 66'.
Prash Vadgama, Navman's President Global Sales and Marketing said 'We chose ITIS
because we were convinced that their service offers the best combination of data
and coverage and look forward to integrating it into our products to ensure that
our customer's navigation and travel experience are as economical and enjoyable
as possible'.
