Verizon, TomTom expand mapping deal

Verizon will integrate TomTom’s Maps APIs and SDKs into its location services offering, making it easier for the developer community to build upon and integrate the platform, the company announced.

This agreement is an expansion of the existing TomTom and Verizon agreement, in which TomTom provides location-based services to enhance Verizon’s current suite of location-based data, navigation and intelligence.

In late 2019, the companies also announced an innovation project using Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband and TomTom HD Maps to help make intersections safer for emergency vehicles.
