Mapflow takes advantage of full coverage Ireland map data

NAVTEQ (NYSE: NVT), a leading global provider of digital maps for vehicle navigation and location-based solutions, has signed a VAR agreement with Dublin based Mapflow. Mapflow and NAVTEQ have already worked together on a number of projects in Austria, the UK, France and Portugal, but the recent VAR arrangement provides the opportunity to develop the relationship further.

The largest independent provider of GIS and LBS technology in Ireland, Mapflow's product suite supports blue chip customers such as O2, Vodafone, BT, the AA, Transport for London and Hibernian Insurance.

"We strive to provide best in class solutions for our customers and utilising the equivalent standard of map data is core to this," explained Mapflow CEO, Richard Bryce. "Access to NAVTEQ's integrated street level map data for both the Republic and Northern Ireland, will help consolidate our position as the leading source of geographic content in the Irish market."

NAVTEQ recently announced the availability of a full and detailed digital map of the entire Republic of Ireland. This coverage links seamlessly to the road network of Northern Ireland which also has full and detailed NAVTEQ map coverage - providing a consistent level of detail on both sides of the border.
