Just recently, TomTom has announced that its navigation services are already available in Daimler’s newly rolled out app—the Mercedes me.

The app offers an array of “Mercedes connect me” services, including maintenance management and remote status as well as the newest information about traffic delays and ETA, powered by TomTom’s advanced routing technology.

According to Jan-Maarten de Vries, VP Product Marketing at TomTom Automotive, they are proud to reinforce their relationship with Daimler and they believe that their world-class maps, navigation software and services make TomTom a major partner of the globe’s top automakers. “We understand that car manufacturers want to extend the user experience beyond the car and its embedded infotainment systems. We support that wish by offering the components to develop navigation portals and smartphone companion apps.”

The all-new Mercedes me app can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store and iTunes. The online routing is only offered to customers with a car featuring “Live Traffic Information” and “Mercedes connect me services”.
