Tele Atlas has released its comprehensive turn-by-turn digital map database, called MultiNet North America 2.4.

This database includes map coverage for the United States, Canada, international waters and country borders, supported by 13 million third-party points-of-interest (POI) data, evaluation data and GDF Viewer+, a tool suite for geographic data file (GDF) viewing, debugging and testing.
"We are thrilled to be delivering this powerful offering ahead of schedule," said George Fink, president of Tele Atlas North America Inc.
"This product demonstrates our commitment to live up to the highest industry standards for quality products, on-time delivery and top-notch service."
This release of MultiNet North America 2.4 is available in GDF (geographic data file) format, a de facto international standard featuring an application-independent data model, traffic and transport related extensions, flexibility and extendibility.
It was built to Tele Atlas' global spec, which allows customers to readily expand applications to include coverage of multiple continents. Additional industry formats are also scheduled for release during the first half of 2003.
