TomTom, the location technology specialist, today announced an extension of its global deal to provide maps and traffic data to Michelin Travel Partner. TomTom will continue to power ViaMichelin, Michelin Travel Partner’s world-renowned digital travel service, and several of the brand’s printed products, including travel guides.

ViaMichelin is a mobile app and web-based platform which provides online mapping, navigation, road traffic services and tourist information. TomTom’s maps and real-time traffic service provide highly detailed location content, critical to location-aware digital applications like ViaMichelin.

“We are pleased to extend our collaboration with Michelin Travel Partner and continue to support ViaMichelin’s one hundred million users worldwide,” said Anders Truelsen, Managing Director, TomTom Enterprise. “TomTom’s highly accurate maps and industry-leading traffic technology continue to shape smart mobility across the globe, helping people to travel more efficiently.”

ViaMichelin offers route and distance calculations between towns, addresses and points of interest for 4 possible modes of transport: car / motorcycle / bike / pedestrian.

For car and motorcycle routes you can choose from the following variants:

• Michelin recommended: this route option focuses on safety, simplicity and minimising any risk of route errors. This is the default route that Michelin recommends.
• The quickest (prioritising time): this route option takes the least time to reach the destination.
• The shortest (prioritising distance): this route option involves the shortest distance to reach the destination, whilst always remaining on passable roads.
• Discovery: this route option favours scenic routes of tourist interest.
• Economic: this route focuses on fuel efficiency and avoiding toll roads.

You can add up to 6 stages to your route. These stages will also be included in the ViaMichelin GPS app if you have saved your route in your Michelin account.

For every calculated route, ViaMichelin offers the choice of two or three itineraries and allows you to make an easy comparison.

ViaMichelin can provide a detailed cost for your journey: fuel costs adapted to your vehicle and toll costs throughout Europe.

ViaMichelin also offers accommodation booking at no extra cost. In partnership with Booking, they offer a wide range of accommodation (hotels, gîtes, B&Bs, campsites, apartments) in your chosen location. You also have the option to read up on and book hotels selected from the MICHELIN Guide.

The ViaMichelin advantage: choose a hotel along the route, or close to your destination, and access the Michelin hotel selections through a filter in the results list.
