Getting it Right with Map Accuracy

According to NAVTEQ, a leading global provider of digital map data, GPS device users rank map accuracy as the number one indicator of user satisfaction.

No kidding.

Earlier today NAVTEQ made it easier for users to report discrepancies in their leviathan of a data base. The new, intuitive web interface addresses a global audience in 9 languages and allows users to attach images to clarify concerns. Apparently every submission is followed up individually by "map reporters" who monitor the database.

Experts estimate NAVTEQ maps are consulted more than 90 million times each day through vehicle navigation systems, portable navigation systems, Internet mapping sites and geographic information systems applications.

That kind of usage demands minute-by-minute reporting. There's only one thing we Nomadiks love more than getting outdoors and that's a GPS device that delivers on its promise.
