Community & Partnerships
summary
TomTom reports active OSM engagement since 2021 with a dedicated community team, local hires across East Asia Pacific, and sponsorship of State of the Map events. Tools shared include RoadRunner probe data and public map APIs/SDKs plus the free Amigo app. Activities list: meetups and training (Brazil, Tanzania, Ghana), disaster mapping (Turkey, Morocco), and a 196-country improvement project that pushes map challenges (intersections, water areas, isolated highways). Some communities resist corporate involvement, so teams prioritize local-language contacts and long-term local roles.
