03/19/2002 LEADING COMPANIES TAP NAVTECH® REAL-TIME MAP SERVICE (Orlando, FL - Chicago, IL) March 19, 2002 Navigation Technologies, a leading provider of digital maps for vehicle navigation, Internet/wireless applications and business solutions, announces NAVTECH®Real-Time Map Service is now available for use in commercial Location-Based Services (LBS) applications. While NAVTECH maps already provide the most accurate representation of real-world driving conditions, NAVTECH Real-Time Map Service enables integration of richer point-of-interest information (e.g., store opening hours) and dynamic content (e.g., traffic information) with easier updates of the maps. The service provides access to NAVTECH maps and expanded point-of-interest information through well established LBS functions such as route calculation via an XML interface. This, and future Real-Time Map Service interfaces, enable service providers and solution partners to rapidly incorporate map-related content into consumer offerings. Both Renault and t-info, a subsidiary of T-Online International AG (Deutsche Telekom) , are using NAVTECH Real-Time Map Service in LBS and telematics applications targeting consumers. Renault is using NAVTECH Real-Time Map Service in pilot telematics solutions as part of their E-vehicle initiative. t-info GmbH is using Real-Time Map Service to position and guide users to lifestyle and business information, integrating 40 million addresses and contacts on Germany`s businesses, restaurants, hotels, ATMs, pharmacies and petrol stations. |
