We are excited about our relationship with NAVTEQ as it enables us to deliver a fully integrated mapping engine combined with NAVTEQ's quality digital map data."

Unique to mapping engines, GeoBase(TM) enables extremely fast geocoding and reverse geocoding for Web-based applications, and provides enterprise tools to meet critical time-to-market targets.

Its GeoBase(TM) mapping engine is well-suited for telemetry, telematics, location-based service applications (LBS) and large enterprise integration. Additionally, it eases developers' ability to develop GIS/LBS software applications powered by NAVTEQ data."
