TomTom today announces a license agreement with Fisker Automotive, the
California manufacturer of premium electric vehicles with extended
range. Under the three-year agreement, TomTom will provide the Fisker
Karma sedan with map and location content covering North America (US and
Canada), as well as Europe. The agreement encompasses the core map;
Points of Interest; and Voice Maps, which are used to support
text-to-speech and voice recognition for address input of the navigation
system. All of this location content is available via a Command Center –
the industry’s first 10.2” touch screen interface which controls
navigation, as well as climate, infotainment, phone and additional
secondary systems.
’Winning this deal with Fisker, a new and innovative car
manufacturer, highlights TomTom’s position in the market as the leader
in delivering the most accurate maps and location content globally,’
said Charles Cautley, Managing Director of TomTom Automotive and
Licensing. ‘By partnering with Fisker, TomTom is providing Fisker
Karma drivers with location information that will support all their
navigation needs.’
The Fisker Karma is the world’s first premium electric plug-in hybrid.
The Karma is being sold in North America through a network of premium
brand retailers and globally through luxury importers.
