Cedar Electronics Selects TomTom Orbis Maps for Cobra and Escort Radar Detectors

Cedar Electronics Selects TomTom Orbis Maps

Cedar Electronics, a manufacturer of automotive safety and driver awareness solutions, has selected Cedar Electronics TomTom Orbis maps for integration into its Cobra and Escort radar detector products in the United States. The Cedar Electronics TomTom Orbis maps integration will use TomTom’s speed limit data to validate and maintain road speed information across the country. The integration is intended to help drivers remain informed about current speed limits and road conditions while using Cobra and Escort radar detector products.

TomTom Speed Limit Data Sources

TomTom develops its speed information through a combination of multiple data sources rather than relying on a single information stream. These sources include government datasets, field-verified survey information, and probe data collected from connected vehicles and navigation devices. Combining these sources allows TomTom to develop speed information using different types of road and vehicle data. The approach is designed to support reliable road speed information across locations where speed limits may change or where available speed limit information is incomplete.

Application Across the United States

The selected mapping and speed information will be used across the United States in Cedar Electronics’ Cobra and Escort radar detector products. By integrating TomTom’s speed limit data, the products can use maintained road speed information to help drivers stay aware of applicable speed limits and road conditions. The use of information drawn from government datasets, field surveys, connected vehicles, and navigation devices also provides a broader data foundation for maintaining road speed information across different areas of the country.
