Digital map maker Tele Atlas announced last week several partnerships with restaurant directories in France, Holland and Italy to enlarge the richness of its Points of Interest (POIs) database.

In France Tele Atlas will be sourcing data from aurestaurant.com, a web portal that includes approximately 100,000 member restaurants from 15,000 cities. In Italy the map maker will get content from Ridal srl, developer of the Italian restaurant information portal Ristoitalia.info, with a database of nearly 54,000 restaurants. In Holland, Koninklijke Horeca Nederland, Holland’s largest entrepreneur organization in the hotel and catering industry, will provide a dataset that covers more than 20,000 hotels and restaurants.

These three organizations will provide content that goes well beyond the name and the address of the restaurant with details such as descriptions of the restaurant, reservations, accessibility, type of kitchen, menu, average price, opening hours, etc.
