Australian collaboration in global navigation solutions
PSMA Australia Limited will provide Australian spatial data to NAVTEQ, a leading global provider of digital map data for vehicle navigation and location-based solutions.
NAVTEQ has signed an agreement to receive Australian mapping data from PSMA Australia to create its first Australian-based mapping product.
PSMA Australia combines reliable spatial data from authoritative Australian government sources with leading-edge technology to create comprehensive national spatial information datasets. Features of these datasets include roads, street addresses, cadastral boundaries, government administrative boundaries and points of interest.
‘We are extremely pleased to be working with the global leader in digital mapping and we’re delighted that NAVTEQ has chosen our data to advance into the Australian market’, said PSMA Australia’s Director of Operations and Chief Executive Officer, Dan Paull.
‘NAVTEQ’s team of field researchers have been driving the roads here in Australia putting the quality of our data to the test and have found it to be highly reliable map data,’ Mr Paull said.
NAVTEQ will build on PSMA Australia’s base map data by supplementing navigable attributes via road verification to create a premium navigation product with complete coverage of Australia.
NAVTEQ’s John Macleod, Executive Vice President – Global Marketing and Strategy, said: ‘We were looking for an Australian partner that could provide a broad, high quality foundation to which we could add our proprietary Detailed Coverage navigable map data, and PSMA Australia offered the best data’.
