Using NAVTECH
Maps to add Location to your Application
Today's mobile marketplace is brimming
with potential. The handheld market is forecast to continue
growing exponentially, as is the number of PDA users. Thousands
of handheld applications have already been developed, and
the number continues to climb as users demand value-added
solutions. So, how can you make your application stand out
in the crowded field?
| For handheld application
developers, the key to success is to deliver innovative
solutions that drive productivity, increase flexibility
and enhance the lifestyle of the on-the-go end user.
Embedding location in the solution will enable developers
to create a wider range of unique and valued applications
regardless of whether the device is used for business
or as a personal lifestyle tool. |

From basic location based services (LBS)
such as manual searches of key points of interest such as
restaurants and shopping, to advanced location based services
such as turn- by-turn navigation and asset tracking, the
digital map database is the core ingredient.
The Great LBS Hope
To develop a world class LBS
solution, you not only need a superior application but also
an accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date digital map. By
combining NAVTECH®
maps with information from other content sources, your application
can tell users where to go and how to get there, including
step-by-step directions for thousands of destinations. NAVTECH
maps can be seamlessly integrated into a variety of cross-platform
applications.
Adding location to applications is a
win-win for developers and service providers alike. By creating
applications that contain richer and more robust content,
developers can address the desire for timely, accurate and
detailed information and deliver solutions that service
providers can leverage to drive more revenue.
