The core business for Tele Atlas is street maps. Other companies
collect and maintain the Points of Interest database.
We used to license POI data from one of these companies but have
recently signed a new license with Tele Atlas for POI data as well as
map data. They still don't maintain the POI data but because they are
such a large company, we were able to work out a better POI licensing
deal through them than we previously had.
This gives us access to 12 million points of interest in over 100
categories. These points are more up to date and will be updated on a
more regular basis. Now, the challenge for us is just how to deal
with 12 times as many POIs on the BrailleNote compared to what you
currently have.
One day we are vying for better POI data and the next we are looking
at this mountain of data and asking how we climb it.

Hi folks!
Does tele atlis only concern themselves with the street maps? Does Sendero go to other companies for the poi database or is this all one big package.
