| NAVTEQ Delivers StreetMap Data for ArcGIS Product Line NAVTEQ has collaborated with ESRI to begin shipping a new dataset for ESRI StreetMap Premium, the latest street database for use with ESRI's ArcGIS software products. ESRI's StreetMap Premium data includes NAVTEQ's NAVSTREETS map database for the United States, Canada and Europe. NAVSTREETS is a collection of navigable attributes, including turn-by-turn directions, the latest street geometry, address information, and water features. NAVSTREETS extensive database provides end- users a high level of accuracy and helps ESRI customers find locations and route efficiently to their destinations. NAVTEQ's NAVSTREETS data is designed to help ArcGIS users easily add one of the highest quality and most current street databases to ESRI applications such as ArcGIS Desktop (ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo), ArcIMS RouteServer, and ArcGIS Server. In addition, a data option is available for use with the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension. NAVTEQ's NAVSTREETS data is available in ESRI Smart Data Compression (SDC) format, and the entire North American dataset comes on one DVD. It can be used to geocode addresses and generate routes and driving directions, as a cartographic display, as a backdrop for plotting customer locations, or as a basemap. Over 550 NAVTEQ field analysts drive millions of miles each year to create a high quality and accurate map database. NAVTEQ maps include detailed attributes such as turn restrictions, relative road crossing heights, road segment access restrictions, one-way streets, and speed categories to help optimize routing. NAVTEQ's comprehensive maps also include Points of Interest (POIs) such as restaurants, hospitals, shopping centers, and leisure facilities, making it easier to locate and route to many different destinations. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
