3 basic facts• Maps are the basis for all navigable data

• Making maps is complex

• Keeping maps updated is even more complex and very expensive

So how’s it done ?• The basic data is collected from various

sources• Government offices (מע"צ/DOTs)• Municipalities• Postal services• Aerial photography• Etc…

• Some are free, some are not

• But lacking navigable data informationThe First Driver Generated Live Maps and Road Intelligence

So how’s made navigable ?• Field Teams that collect and collect:

• Many vehicles• Many miles• Many teams• Mapping tools and equipment• … and then validating it all

And the results ?• Layers of data composing the map:

• Geometry• Nodes, connectivity, line shapes…

• Navigation• Speed limit, turn restrictions, driving directions…

• Road attributes• Road names, HW numbers, exits, addresses…

• Administrative• Borders, counties, postal codes…

• Cartographic data• Rivers, lakes, railroads…

• Points of interest

Who are we • The problem

• Maps today are static and do not reflect the events that affect the daily driver

• The waze solution• A mass of drivers that automatically and

constantly update other drivers, actively and passively in real time about the roads and driving conditions

• How• Create a live map• Free mobile applicationThe First Driver Generated Live Maps and Road Intelligence

Success in Israel• Officially launched in Jan. 2009

• Initial one-man project began in 2006 and reached 17,000 users

• Launch introduced the real-time connectivity concept

• Reached over 80,000 users in 4 months• ~15% penetration of GPS enabled phones• Over 90% road coverage (where it matters)

• The result is the best traffic information reporting in Israel
