BARCELONA, Feb. 12 -- NAVTEQ (NYSE: NVT), a leading global provider of digital maps for vehicle navigation and location-based solutions, is providing map data for the new Nokia 6110 Navigator -- the company's latest S60 3G smart phone with fully integrated GPS navigation.

The Nokia 6110 Navigator combines navigation and mobile telephony in a feature-rich package. With integrated maps, routing and navigation available with the click of the phone's one-touch Navigator key, the Nokia 6110 Navigator offers a full personal navigation experience in the palm of the hand.

Using the Nokia Navigator application featuring NAVTEQ(R) map data, the Nokia 6110 Navigator comes with detailed world maps as standard. NAVTEQ maps span six continents and 17 million kilometres of road. Each road segment features attributes such as -- street names, address ranges, turning restrictions, one way streets -- which facilitate more precise routing. There are also 50 Points of Interest (POIs) categories covering everything from hotels to petrol stations and airports to sports facilities, all adding up to over 15 million items.

"Nokia 6110 Navigator integrates easy to use navigation with mobile phones," explained Jaakko Hattula, Head of Internet Experience, Nokia Mobile Phones. "NAVTEQ's map quality and coverage are essential in delivering the enjoyable navigation experience of the Nokia 6110 Navigator."

Nokia's 330 and N95, navigation/location solutions launched in the fall of 2006, are also powered with NAVTEQ map data. The Nokia N95 is an all-in-one multimedia computer with integrated GPS, powering Nokia mapping and navigation platform, and NAVTEQ map coverage of South Africa, major APAC, Latin America and Middle East countries.
