Netherlands-based 1692 TomTom, supplier of in-car location and navigation products and services is to partner with US headquartered 6114 ParkMe, a leading provider of dynamic and real-time parking data.

The partnership will provide TomTom with ParkMe’s parking data and location information for parking garages and lots, as well as contact information.
