NAVTEQ enhances Venezuela map with Point Addressing and visual content

After launching the Venezuela map earlier this year, NAVTEQ now provides Point Addressing in the metropolitan areas of Baruta, Chacao, El Hatillo, Libertador and Sucre in the Provinces of Miranda and Distrito Federal.

Point Addressing significantly improves navigation guidance with enhanced arrival accuracy in countries such as Venezuela where addressing does not follow a regular pattern, or, in some cases, where addressing is based simply on a set of building names.

Without Point Addressing, navigation systems typically use a methodology for announcing destination arrival by interpreting address ranges to determine when a vehicle has arrived at the correct destination.

In addition to the benefits enabled by Point Addressing, navigation devices including NAVTEQ's visual content can provide more intuitive guidance and orientation.

When integrated into the NAVTEQ map, inclusion of NAVTEQ's 3D Landmarks and 3D City Models data reconciles the view outside with the display on the navigation screen.

NAVTEQ currently provides 3D Landmarks and 3D City Models content in Caracas.

Both Point Addressing and visual content are geo-referenced to the NAVTEQ map, enabling easy integration into existing NAVTEQ-based applications.
