Map production is no longer time consuming
In many instances, the production of cartographic products remains labour-intensive work. Creating and keeping these cartographic products up to date involves a lot of time and effort. Those days are over.
Navteq data
The world‘s infrastructure is constantly changing and a lot of time and money is spent keeping cartographic databases up to date. Perhaps this is the case in your organisation as well. Probably while globally operating suppliers of digital cartographic data, such as Navteq, are doing the same thing at the same time. This data is specially developed for navigation systems or GIS applications. It can also be used as a source for the production of map products, both for digital products and print products. The MapCreator software suite uses Navteq data as its source, bringing coverage of the entire western world (including Europe, USA and Australia), and to an increasing extent parts of Asia, within reach. Just imagine having unlimited coverage! Making maps of Italian towns and villages without diffi culty in London, and vice versa.
