using its Local Search for Automotive
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that Toyota Motor Europe is the latest automotive brand to select the HERE platform's Nokia Local Search for Automotive to power its next generation Touch & Go navigation and infotainment systems. Nokia Local Search for Automotive is a specifically designed solution developed to fulfill the requirements of the automotive industry.
By leveraging Nokia Local
Search for Automotive, Toyota drivers will have fast and easy online
access to the latest high-quality industry mapping information and
community-generated content - including millions of ratings, reviews and
images fed directly into their cars.
The
introduction of this service demonstrates how Nokia's HERE business is
continuing to extend its industry-leading portfolio of products to meet
the needs of its automotive customers.
"The ability
to deliver comprehensive and driver-relevant content tailored to
automotive requirements makes the Nokia Location Platform an interesting
proposition," said Derek Williams, General Manager, Telematics &
Multimedia, Toyota Motor Europe. "It is an excellent basis for creative
location-centric concepts and we are delighted to bring this technology
to our customers. Nokia Local Search for Automotive is expected to be
commercially available in Toyota systems from early 2014 in Europe,
Russia and the Middle East."
Moving forward, Toyota
Motor Europe will collaborate with Nokia to study more services that
leverage the Nokia Location Platform, including best-in-class content.
Nokia is currently the leading company providing end-to-end mapping,
navigation and location solutions for the automotive industry.

experience should be - immersive, always on. Today's announcement
underlines Nokia's commitment to providing fresh content and services to
