ERTICO – ITS Europe Partner Navteq, a provider of digital map data for vehicle navigation and location-based solutions (LBS), has announced that it will be offering Navteq map data in Oracle Spatial 11g geocoding, routing and mapping format for location-enabling enterprise solutions.

With our map data availability in Oracle Database 10g and the current development with 11g, together Navteq and Oracle support and accelerate the deployment of digital map databases at the heart of the enterprise,” commented Eric Fumat, Vice President – Enterprise Europe, Navteq.
