  • Introduction to Map Compilation
    Map Compilation is the process whereby a navigable digital map, such as that licensed by NAVTEQ, is reformatted for optimal use in an application. In the case of transmitting the map over a limited bandwidth or costly connection, compression and partitioning into small chunks is the primary concern. For use in an affordable, pocketable, consumer device, both compression and run-time performance enhancing transformations and indexing are required. In the case of use on a server, run time performance is paramount and therefore transformations, re-organizations and indexing of the data are required. http://developer.navteq.com/getDocument.do?docId=3904

 

  • Introduction to Map Display
    Map Display is the software component that takes a digital map database, such as found in the NAVTEQ product line, and renders it into a picture for use in a navigation system, LBS service, web site, etc. Authored by Marcus Jenkins, NAVTEQ Principal Consultant, this article takes you through the basics of Cartography (Scale, Projections, Map Generalization) and gives you tips on achieving that 'paper map feel'. http://developer.navteq.com/getDocument.do?docId=2422

 

  • Intro to Route Calculation
    Route calculation is the software component in a navigation system that determines the best route between two places according to the user's preferences, traffic conditions, etc. It is a computation-intensive process that processes large amounts of data in order to determine the best route. This introductory white paper provides an overview on route calculation algorithms, inputs, outputs, and other concepts.

  • NAVTEQ Digital Map Overview Developer Guide
    The NAVTEQ Digital Map Overview Developer Guide provides the reader with an introduction to the concepts and methodologies of the digital map. This guide also presents high-level information on the process behind digital map making to stress the importance of quality, richness, and accuracy. http://developer.navteq.com/getDocument.do?docId=1329

 

Don't miss the 2009 NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge! EMEA registration closes on October 24th. Application submission is not necessary at the time of registration. www.LBSchallenge.com
