Nokia has signed up Toyotas European division to incorporate the Nokia Local Search for Automotive service, part of its HERE platform, into its next generation of cars.
Local Search for Automotive gives drivers online access to maps, as well as community-generated content such as reviews, ratings and images of local attractions.
The service is expected to be commercially available to Toyota customers in Europe, Russia and the Middle East starting from early 2014.
“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.”
