The prevalence of in-vehicle navigation systems is expected to explode over the next five years as a result of technical advances accelerating the adoption curve. The cost of navigation hardware is headed down the path of cell phones where the equipment becomes almost free to in-vehicle navigation data subscribers.
The advent of sufficient wireless bandwidth to provide real time data to in-vehicle navigation is dramatically increasing the value by incorporating real time traffic data into the equation for providing the most efficient way to reach your destination. This bandwidth also supports real time search for points of interest based on the initiated search location.
This emerging market creates the need for more accurate mapping data and imagery to assist the driving public with finding the route to their destination safely and efficiently. Driving lane locations with sub meter accuracy is needed to take advantage of the emerging accident avoidance technology that is making its way into navigation systems.
GEOSPAN
’s patented methods for extracting street centerline locations from
GEOVISTA®
imagery is helping meet the demand for more accurate GPS street maps to support the in-vehicle navigational market. The processes
GEOSPAN
uses to geo-code property locations from
GEOVISTA
imagery provides the most accurate database of property locations and addresses.
Using the
GEOVISTA
imagery to "bring the field to the desktop" supports building a superior national urban vehicle routing database.
GEOVISTA
imagery offers the most efficient way to determine posted speeds, direction of travel, and vehicle capacity for creating routing logic to offer accurate turn-by-turn directions.
The old phrase “A picture says a 1000 words” takes on a new meaning when oblique and street-level imagery is added to traditional mapping. Previewing the
GEOVISTA
imagery for a destination offers a tremendous sense of familiarity gained from “virtually being there” before you physically arrive. As wireless bandwidth enters the in-vehicle navigational market,
GEOVISTA
imagery access will become a significant differentiator as the in-vehicle navigational market becomes a mainstream technology.
