Sydney, Australiaโ NAVTEQ, announced an agreement that Navman will utilise the NAVTEQ map of Australia in its entire range of portable navigation devices. NAVTEQ is already powering the full range of Mio devices since the end of last year. With this new agreement, NAVTEQ will be the preferred map supplier for MiTAC, the company who owns Navman, Mio and Magellan in Australia.
The relationship between NAVTEQ and Navman in Australia began in October 2008 when Navman first selected NAVTEQ to supply map data and content for its premium S-Series Platinum devices. Navman, widely recognised as a pioneer of portable, in-car satellite navigation devices, is a top three vendor of personal navigation devices across Europe. In Australia, Navman holds the position of Australiaโs best-selling brand in four of the last six years.
