The Maps-Visualization department is part of the TomTom Maps Unit. As a whole unit, we deliver digital map data to internal TomTom services and external customers. Our department is accountable for the map's content, primarily intended to enhance the visualization experience during map browsing and navigation. In Earth and Water team we focus on 3D features (3D Terrains, 3D Bridges, 3D Tunnels), water features like oceans and lakes, green areas like parks and forests, and other man-made places like hospitals and school grounds. Our fundamental role is to deliver and sustain this data within the product efficiently. Our strategy involves using available resources, mainly open sources, to improve and integrate with the rest of the map. Our biggest challenge is automating the process of handling hundreds of millions of map features that must be continuously processed.
