TomTom has announced it has partnered with HTC to provide the maps, points of interest and turn-by-turn directions for a range of HTC smartphones in India.
This partnership marks the first consumer-focused implementation of TomTom’s map data in the rapidly growing Indian market.
ABI Research, in its 2011 study released in Q3, forecasts that more than 5.2 million smartphones will ship to India in 2012; this number is projected to more than triple by 2015.
“This is our first major partnership in India, and we look forward to providing HTC and its customers with the most comprehensive and easy to use maps and navigation services,” said Nuno Campos, vice president of Sales and Marketing for TomTom Licensing.
