DigitalGlobe and Navteq announced a new relationship aimed at providing better support to the thousands of software developers using Navteq map data who want to include high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery from DigitalGlobe in their applications.
As part of the agreement, DigitalGlobe becomes the latest member of the Partner Zone program on the Navteq Network for Developers and will provide developers access to sample imagery free of charge for a limited term during the software development process.
The Navteq Network for Developers provides registered members with a diverse assortment of valuable data and tools. Simply by joining the free NN4D program, developers benefit from Navteq map data samples as well as industry-leading geospatial tools and data from DigitalGlobe and other Partner Zone companies for evaluation and development. Additionally, the site offers comprehensive technical information, market information, developer forums, frequently asked questions and e-mail technical support provided by both Navteq and DigitalGlobe experts.
As a member of Navteq’s Partner Zone program, developers will have access to a variety of technical content from DigitalGlobe including whitepapers, user documentation, sample code, live and on-demand webinars, and a hosted discussion forum allowing developers to obtain a thorough understanding of how best to access DigitalGlobe’s extensive collection of current and historical sub-meter earth imagery. Through limited-term access to DigitalGlobe’s library during the development process, developers will have the ability to incorporate imagery into their applications during the development and testing process before purchasing a license for use when a new commercial application is launched.
The agreement represents an extension of an existing, long-standing relationship between the two companies in which DigitalGlobe supplies imagery to Navteq to aid in the map creation process in certain areas of the world.
