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.

"This is an exciting step towards making the search for parking a thing of the past," Sam Friedman, co-founder and CEO of ParkMe, said. "This partnership will allow us to enhance the navigation experience by adding the very important element of parking. We are thrilled that TomTom has chosen us to be a parking data provider."
