TomTom’s already seen Google muscle in on its turf in an immense way, and it feels like it would now be seeking to return the favor. If camera-toting vans just like the one above are any indication, it might appear that the corporate is currently working to strengthen its navigation options with its own Street View -like service. To date, all the van sightings seem confined to Europe (France and Belgium, specifically), and that they after all don’t necessarily confirm that TomTom is indeed engaged on a Street View competitor — although we need to wonder what the vans are for if it is not. It is also worth noting that TomTom did acquire TeleAtlas, which uses vans equipped with cameras, lasers and GPS within the actual creation of its maps, however the higher, 360-degree camera used on these vans seems much towards those used on Google’s Street View cars. Seen one yourself? Be at liberty to tell us within the comments below.
