Chinese map service provider is among the first companies in China to collect HD map data

Amap Software is offering its high-definition (HD) map and data services free of charge to automakers during their development and deployment of self-driving cars, the Chinese web mapping, navigation and location-based services provider said at the 2016 Computing Conference in Hangzhou, China last month. The company’s HD map service provides a real-time kinematic (RTK) data service platform that guarantees service continuity and clear pricing, while reducing the cost of app development and improving update rate.
