Santa Clara, Calif., July 04, 2017 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- Telenav®, Inc.
(NASDAQ:TNAV), a leader in connected car services, announced that
Philipp Kandal, Senior Vice President, Engineering at Telenav, will
be making two presentations at the upcoming ConCarExpo 2017 in
Berlin on July 5 and 6. The company also announced it will have a
presence on the show floor. The event will be held in Convention
Hall II at the Estrel Congress and Messe Center in Berlin. The
Telenav location on the floor will be stand 32.
On July 5, Kandal will present "Accurate HD Map or
Smart Map? What It Really Takes to Power Connected Car and
Autonomous Experiences" at the ConCarExpo's International VDI
Conference for Digital Infrastructure and Automotive Mobility. This
presentation will focus on the growing importance of maps and, more
specifically, how Telenav improves navigation-related attributes in
OpenStreetMap (OSM).
The following day, at ConCarExpo's ConCar Forum,
his topic will be "A Mobile App, Some Drivers and a Massive
Country: the Magic of AI in Building High-Accuracy Maps in Six
Months." This talk revolves around Telenav's experience, lessons
and best practices learned from improving Canadian OSM data to
produce a navigation-quality map.
At the core of both talks is how Telenav is
helping improve OSM and the tools the company has built for the OSM
community to make a more complete map. Telenav's OSM improvement
platform identifies essential attributes for navigation, such
as turn restrictions and speed limits. This effort, combined with
the constant edits to OSM made by more than three million OSM
community contributors, allows for the creation of frequently
updated and navigable maps.
Additionally, many of the company's advanced
navigation technologies and products will be showcased on the
floor.
