==Internet mapping agreements==
Historically, Internet mapping providers have utilized map data from a variety of vendors.  Given the growth in usage of Internet mapping portals, the map suppliers have competed fiercely for that business.

On 30 June 2008, Tele Atlas announced a five-year agreement to continue to supply data to [[Google Maps]]. Under the deal, Tele Atlas was to have access to corrections and updates to the data made by the Google Maps community.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/30/AR2008063000799.html|title=In New Deal With Tele Atlas, Google Maps Sends Data Back|last=Schonfeld|first=Erick|date=30 June 2008|work=[[TechCrunch]]|publisher=[[The Washington Post]]|access-date=2008-07-04}}</ref> Roughly a year later, in October 2009, Google discontinued using Tele Atlas maps in the United States and began collecting map feedback from consumers for their own use.<ref name="forbes">{{cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/2009/10/23/android-navigation-internet-technology-wireless-google.html|title=Google's Navigation Bombshell|last=Woyke|first=Elizabeth|date=23 October 2009|work=[[Forbes]]|access-date=2009-11-06|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130124002714/http://www.forbes.com/2009/10/23/android-navigation-internet-technology-wireless-google.html|archive-date=2013-01-24|url-status=dead}}</ref> Shortly thereafter, Google announced Google Maps Navigation for Android, which provides [[turn-by-turn navigation]], similar to the functionality provided by TomTom devices, for free as part of Android.<ref name="forbes" />
