Today, Microsoft announced an expanded partnership with TomTom to bring TomTom’s maps and traffic data across Microsoft’s cloud services. As part of this partnership, TomTom will be a leading location data provider for Microsoft Azure and Bing Maps and Microsoft Azure will become TomTom’s preferred cloud provider. We have seen complaints from customers in the past that Microsoft’s mapping solutions doesn’t offer latest imagery. With this partnership, the issue will be resolved as TomTom will be providing the freshest map and traffic information.

On September 6, the two took another step along the partnership path, with TomTom announcing that its navigation technology has been integrated with Microsoft's Connected Vehicle Platform.
Via this integration, "navigation usage and diagnostics data can be sent from vehicles to Microsoft Azure where the data can be used by automakers to generate data-driven insights to deliver tailored services and to make better informed design and engineering decisions," according to TomTom's press release.

MCVP is a platform layer on top of Azure. It gives car makers and integration partners a way to deliver vehicle sensor telemetry into a data lake running on Azure, according to a Microsoft white paper on MCVP. MCVP isn't just about passenger vehicles; it also is intended to work with commercial and industrial vehicles, including cars, trucks, cranes, ships and drones.

It's trying to attract car makers to use its cloud technology to build their own customized solutions. Microsoft is providing vehicle makers with a menu of cloud-connected options: IoT, AI, security, connectivity, productivity and edge services.

Last year, Microsoft and TomTom announced an expansion of their existing partnership to bring TomTom’s maps and traffic data into various mapping scenarios across Microsoft’s cloud-based services including Bing Maps and Azure. In a blog post this week, Microsoft has finally announced that the transition of Bing Maps data will finally begin today, as previously announced. The change affects all regions with the exception of Japan, China, and South Korea.

With this broadened integration, TomTom is now a leading location data provider for Bing Maps and Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft has already rolled out these changes to Bing.com users, as well as Microsoft’s first-party products back in March 2020.
