NAVTEQ Expands Dynamic Content to Flight Status and Fuel Prices

Chicago, November 6 (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Leveraging Leading Dynamic Distribution Capabilities from
Traffic and Camera Alerts

NAVTEQ, a leading global provider of digital map data for
location-based solutions and vehicle navigation, today announced an
exciting expansion to its dynamic content portfolio. Already a
leading provider of camera alert data and real-time traffic to
navigation systems, NAVTEQ now has Air Travel Status and Fuel Prices
available for beta testing, with plans for commercial launch in
Q1/09. Both products leverage formats that can be rapidly deployed,
linked to NAVTEQ Map data and supported by NAVTEQ's 24x7 technical
teams.

NAVTEQ's Air Travel Status enables navigation systems and
applications to provide a detailed view of the air travel experience
for hundreds of U.S.-based airports and thousands of flights. Air
Travel Status provides flight arrival and departure information for
most domestic flights, as well as travel-related information for
hundreds of U.S. airports -- including current weather conditions,
overall delay status and average security line wait times. This
multi-faceted overview gives a realistic snapshot of the commercial
air travel experience, helping consumers make key decisions such as
whether they have sufficient time to refuel a rented vehicle at the
nearest station before catching a flight home.

NAVTEQ's Fuel Prices, another new dynamic POI data product from
NAVTEQ, helps navigation systems and applications meet the everyday
needs of drivers searching for the most economic fuel prices. This
data, matched to fuel stations on the NAVTEQ(R) map, enables
proximity searches for the lowest available price for diesel and
Ethanol/E85 as well as regular, mid-grade and premium gasoline. Fuel
Prices data complements other NAVTEQ products that help drivers of
hybrid and other lower-emission passenger or light commercial
vehicles locate specific fuel types, of which the distribution is not
yet widespread. Finally, Fuel Prices data can also be configured to
proactively deliver data as drivers reach certain milestones, such as
miles driven or when a fuel gauge reaches a certain level.

It's relevant. It's connected. It's easy to integrate

NAVTEQ's dynamic POI content -- launching first in the U.S., with
expansion to Europe thereafter -- lends itself to quick and flexible
integration into location-aware applications. For example, the data
could be configured to "push" information such as fuel prices to
navigation systems as drivers cross certain thresholds, like miles
driven since the last fill-up, or when the gas gauge reaches half
full. Alternatively, this data also easily lends itself to proximity
searches -- enabling drivers to search by a wide variety of criteria,
such as price or preferred brand.

Leveraging integration-friendly formats and innovative location
referencing will also minimize time to market for integration into
customer applications. Finally, NAVTEQ will provide 24 x 7 technical
support and delivery of its dynamic POI data -- something NAVTEQ
customers have come to expect from the industry leader in compelling
map content.

NAVTEQ pioneered the delivery of accurate, real-time traffic
solutions in North America with products like NAVTEQ Traffic,(TM)
which delivers comprehensive, up-to-the minute traffic information to
more than 45 million North American consumers. NAVTEQ also frequently
updates its content products like NAVTEQ Camera Alert,(TM) which
informs users about locations of speed limit cameras and radar zones
to them help avoid moving violations. Today's expansion of these
capabilities further demonstrates the company's ability to deliver
meaningful dynamic content integrated with the industry's most widely
used map for navigation.*

"Dynamic POI content from NAVTEQ delivers accurate, real-time
information that consumers -- and manufacturers -- need," said David
Assouline, NAVTEQ's director of global content. "This real-time
content augments the value of the industry-leading NAVTEQ Map in new
and exciting ways."

* Based on GPS-based, in-vehicle and portable route guidance devices
purchased in the U.S. and Europe since 2000.
