News Release MapFrame to Offer NAVTEQ Map Data for Street-level Viewing and Routing DALLAS, TEXAS (July 16, 2007) - MapFrame Corporation, the leading mobile mapping and field automation software company today announced it will offer NAVTEQ® map data for street-level viewing and routing. NAVTEQ map data provides a highly accurate representation of the detailed road network, including turn restrictions, physical barriers and gates, one-way streets, restricted access and relative road heights. In combination with NAVTEQ digital map data for the U.S. and Canada, MapFrame’s FieldSmart® Route will display the optimal path between two or more points such as work orders, customer addresses or facilities. NAVTEQ data will be stored as a separate layer within FieldSmart® and supplement the client's GIS or other mapping data. Field crews will have access to facility data while viewing the route without changing applications or adjusting the screen - increasing ease-of-use and efficiency. The routing engine can also provide turn-by-turn audio or on-screen directions if the crew is working in unfamiliar territory. “NAVTEQ is excited to be part of MapFrame’s innovative FieldSmart applications,” commented Roy Kolstad, Vice President – Enterprise, NAVTEQ. “Integrating NAVTEQ's extensive routing attributes and advanced traffic data will provide new value to MapFrame's customer base.” "Field crews need and expect accurate directions to help them stay on schedule and respond quickly in emergency situations,” said Ted Eynon, MapFrame's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “NAVTEQ map data enables FieldSmart to successfully meet this demand."
