The map behind the mission: Geospatial intelligence for European defence and government

European defence and government organizations rely on accurate, interoperable maps to plan missions, coordinate with allies and respond to crises. Yet most teams still work with fragmented datasets, static basemaps and siloed traffic sources that slow decisions and limit a common operational picture. 

In this webinar, TomTom and GeoSquare explore how Orbis Maps — an open, globally consistent vector basemap — combined with TomTom Traffic Data creates a trusted, dynamic geospatial foundation ready to integrate into existing GIS, C2 and GEOINT environments. One that will enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency.

Experts will walk through real defence and government use cases: military mobility planning, coalition data sharing, crisis corridor monitoring and civil-military coordination. You will see how Orbis and Traffic Data work together so teams can move from static situational awareness to live operational intelligence — without replacing their current tools.
