CHICAGO, May 20 -- NAVTEQ (NYSE: NVT), a leading global provider of digital maps for vehicle navigation and location-based solutions, today announced that MapQuest, the top mapping website in the US*, has expanded its agreement with NAVTEQ.  Under the new agreement, MapQuest now has access to all 73 countries in the NAVTEQ map database, as well as future country releases.  MapQuest will utilize NAVTEQ data in both its Internet and mobile applications.

 

    "MapQuest has remained a leader in online mapping by providing users with reliable maps and directions, high quality data, and easy-to-use features," said Christian Dwyer, senior vice president and general manager, MapQuest, Inc. "Our agreement with NAVTEQ helps ensure that we continue to provide users with the best experience possible."
