The new portal gives developers, integrators and value added partners an open platform to build business apps. Developers will get access to Software Developer Kits, including tips on how to best use this flexible platform. The developer portal also offers detailed information on Application Programming Interface, a document library, case studies and links to TomTom content downloads.

‘TomTom Bridge opens up a world of possibilities for every business that runs a fleet of vehicles,’ said Corinne Vigreux, managing director at TomTom. ‘We believe that every business on the move should be able to harness the power of our technology to work more efficiently and bring exciting new services. Now this new developer platform makes it easier to integrate business applications with TomTom technologies.’
