TT Correspondent |  |  02 Mar 2012

TomTom, a global supplier of location and navigation products and services on Thursday announced partnership with HTC to provide the maps, points of interest and turn-by-turn directions for a range of HTC smartphones in India.  

 

This partnership marks the first consumer-focused implementation of TomTom’s map data in the rapidly growing Indian market.

“We are excited to expand our global offerings by powering the map services for all HTC smartphones in India,” said Nuno Campos, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for TomTom Licensing. “This is our first major partnership in India, and we look forward to providing HTC and its customers with the most comprehensive and easy to use maps and navigation services.”

 

“India is not only a key market for HTC, but also one of the largest countries with the second largest population in the world,” said Faisal Siddiqui, Country Manager, HTC India. “We believe Tom Tom is the ideal partner to provide the most current map data that will enable Indian consumers to use their HTC smartphones to navigate accurately and effortlessly.”
