Orbis Maps
GeoInt is proud to bring TomTom Orbis Maps to the African market backed by a global ecosystem led by TomTom, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft through the Overture Maps Foundation™.
Built for Africa. Backed by the World.
Orbis Maps brings together validated proprietary data, sensor-derived observations (SDOs), and open mapping sources like OpenStreetMap (OSM) and Overture Maps enabling unparalleled freshness, accuracy, and adaptability in African contexts.
Whether you're navigating supply chain disruptions, managing cross-border fleets, or powering autonomous vehicles, Orbis Maps gives you the geospatial clarity to make better decisions.

From Assisted to Autonomous
Orbis Maps supports both ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) and HD maps for vehicle automation — helping you prepare for the future of mobility.
Use Cases
Fleet and route optimisation
Network expansion planning
Navigation and mobility services
Simulation and digital twins
Automated driving support
This is the future of mapping.
TomTom Orbis Maps is not just a map. It's a foundation for innovation built on open standards, constantly updated, and tailored for performance in the real world.
FAQs
What's the difference between Orbis Maps for autonomy and driver assistance?
ADAS maps are referenced to the road network and support features like adaptive cruise and lane-keeping. HD maps for autonomy go further — built on a 3D lane geometry layer for pinpoint vehicle positioning.
How do Orbis Maps improve road safety?
By equipping systems with foresight. Orbis helps anticipate hazards, enforce safer driving behaviour, and deliver redundancy in low-visibility conditions.
Why are high-precision maps essential for automated driving?
They allow the vehicle to "see" beyond its sensors — supporting localisation, predicting agent behaviour, and guiding movement even in tunnels, rainstorms, or urban complexity.
How often are Orbis Maps updated?
In near real-time. Updates are processed continuously from TomTom vehicles, satellites, and partners like GeoInt, ensuring that map intelligence always reflects current ground truth.
