Local Search for Automotive
Espoo, Finland - Nokia
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."

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.
"Nokia and Toyota share the
same vision of what the in-vehicle location experience should be - immersive,
always on. Today's announcement underlines Nokia's commitment to providing
fresh content and services to the auto industry so it can deliver innovative
consumer solutions," said Eric Fumat, Vice President Sales & Business
