Default Toyota Develops "Map on Demand" For Navigation Systems

Tokyo—TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announced today that it has developed the world's first* technology for automatically delivering differential map data to car navigation systems. This technology—which TMC has named "Map on Demand"—will be made available to drivers as a new feature of TMC's Japanese-market G-BOOK telematics service from the spring of 2007.

Map on Demand, which was jointly developed with Aisin AW Co., Ltd., Zenrin Co., Ltd., Denso Corporation and Toyota Mapmaster Incorporated, delivers updated data on all Japanese expressways and toll roads, as well as on roads near the registered home of the subscriber and on roads in the vicinity of user-specified destinations. Data is delivered via cell phone networks, Internet downloads, etc.

Sorry, I didn't realise the title was truncated. I can't put the full title so I've reworded it myself. And yeah.. I needed to squish the last two words so that I can have a plural "systems" haha.
