Sydney: NAVTEQ announced availability of Motorway Junction Objects, an exciting addition to its growing visual content portfolio.
Motorway Junction Objects is a unique content offering designed around a rich set of features that can help drivers make more intuitive decisions at complex highway junctions and motorway rings. In addition to enhancing lane guidance information, it enables navigation systems to display full 3D animation of complex junctions. By more closely matching what is outside the windshield, drivers will be better prepared to avoid last-minute maneuvers, so that they can drive with confidence and ease.
Built from key attributes and geometry of the highly accurate NAVTEQยฎ map, Motorway Junction Objects enables situation specific 3D context, so that visualization of the approach through the entire junction can be created in real-time.
Sample data for Motorway Junction Objects is available for beta testing, with plans for commercial launch next month. The content is designed to work seamlessly with NAVTEQโs broader suite of visual content, including Sign-As-Real, 3D City Models and 3D Landmarks.
