Navteq has expanded its agreement with Microsoft that gives the software giant access to the navigation company’s map database.Under the new agreement, Microsoft now has access to all 74 countries in the Navteq map database. This multi-year agreement also allows Microsoft the rights to utilise Navteq content including Extended Listings, Navteq Transport, Navteq Discover Cities and Navteq Voice. Microsoft will utilise Navteq data in its Internet and mapping software solutions.
Navteq and Microsoft forged a relationship ten years ago when Microsoft selected Navteq to supply map data of the United States and Canada for its product applications. The relationship expanded in the years that followed to include Navteq map data for Western Europe, Asia and Mexico.
