NAVTEQ(R) Maps Power in-Vehicle Navigation for Fleet Management

CHICAGO, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- NAVTEQ, a leading global provider of digital map data for location-based solutions and vehicle navigation, today announced that ESRI has selected NAVTEQ map data for its in-vehicle navigation solution, ArcLogistics Navigator. The product, designed specifically to meet the needs of the trucking, fleet and logistics segments, creates optimal routes and schedules that easily transfer from the desktop to the field.

Tightly integrated with ArcLogistics, ArcLogistics Navigator allows dispatchers the ability to seamlessly send route plans directly to in-vehicle devices, enhancing the driver's ability to follow the exact routes provided. This powerful solution can typically save 15-20% in fleet-related costs within months of implementation. The savings can be attributed to powerful solvers in ArcLogistics that consider customer time windows, vehicle capacity, driver specialty and the nature of the street network -- helping route planners sequence stops that result in resource efficiency.

"Successful fleet management hinges on productive and precise routing," says Karl Terrey, ESRI product manager for ArcLogistics. "NAVTEQ's rich data provides an exhaustive and reliable mapping source that allows us to deliver an effective routing solution which results in significant cost-savings for our customers."

ArcLogistics Navigator is powered by NAVTEQ map data for the United States, Canada and Europe. NAVTEQ's database is a comprehensive collection of navigable attributes, including turn-by-turn directions, the latest street geometry, address information and speed limit data. NAVTEQ's extensive database provides ArcLogistics users a high level of accuracy and helps users find the efficient routes to their destinations.

With its rich map database, NAVTEQ brings a broad spectrum of solutions to life. NAVTEQ digital content optimizes enterprise applications by providing highly detailed map data that enhances accuracy and performance. By employing a universal data collection method that affords quality and precision, NAVTEQ is able to cover millions of miles annually, culminating its efforts into one seamless map that spans the globe.

"As more companies look to their fleets to maximize productivity and cost savings, ESRI is actively developing solutions that allow for the efficient and effective management of mobile resources," commented Roy Kolstad, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Americas, NAVTEQ. "NAVTEQ is excited to support ESRI in this new endeavor that can really benefit companies' bottom lines."
