With a proprietary technology, United Maps algorithmically matches and merges line vector sets to produce hyperlocal maps on large scales between 1:5'000 to 1:1'000.

Geometries and attributes of original, primary datasets are enriched, completed and yet remain intact and fully navigable. Secondary data extends relevant content for mobile usecases outside vehicle traffic. Technically, the conflation of two different vector sets produces a better and richer third set, a 'united map'. United Maps' professional editors add and complete original features and guarantee industrial quality standards.

United Maps' data products are licensed for business-to-business markets (B2B) and are available in two flavors based on primary data from Navteq (NVT) or Tele Atlas (TA). If you are a licensed customer of either, you choose the corresponding version as United Maps' hyperlocal maps are fully compatible.
