NAVTEQ has been selected by Digital Life, a Brazil-based electronics provider, to supply map data for the new, G31 Digital Life PND which launched in November. NAVTEQ’s high quality map data and extensive customer and technical support were deciding factors in Digital Life’s choice to utilize NAVTEQ map data of Brazil to power the Route 66 navigation application featured in the G31 Digital Life PND.
Benefits of the G31 Digital Life PND are a 3.5 inch LCD touch screen, voice guidance and access to a variety of multimedia features such as videos, music, e-books and photos. The G31 Digital Life PND utilizes the NAVTEQ map of Brazil and Route 66’s navigation application to provide users with a driving experience featuring turn-by-turn guidance, extensive Points of Interests as well as broad and comprehensive city coverage. The NAVTEQ map of Brazil includes 1,259 cities across Brazil and contains a superb listing of 644,000 Points of Interest like pharmacies, banks and restaurants enabling G31 users to select their destination either by address or the POI listing.
Known for their quality, NAVTEQ maps are built to a single data specification allowing customers to easily and cost-effectively move into new markets by optimizing their development efforts in one country for use in another. In addition to maps for Brazil, NAVTEQ provides maps in Latin America for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. A dedicated technical customer support team is available to assist customers with integrating NAVTEQ maps into applications.
NAVTEQ maps are unique in their representation of real-world driving conditions. In Brazil, dozens of NAVTEQ geographic analysts, located in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Recife use local knowledge and local contacts to collect and verify details of the roads. They drive thousands of kilometers each year and have local knowledge of road network changes helping to make NAVTEQ maps the freshest and most up-to-date.
