NAVTEQ Secures MEDION PND Business for Two Years

NAVTEQ, a leading global provider of digital map data for location-based solutions and vehicle navigation, has reached a two year agreement to provide MEDION with mapping for the entire range of MEDION PNDs. Under this contract, NAVTEQ will supply its map data to power MEDION’s global mapping product platform.

Moving forward, all new MEDION systems will include NAVTEQ's map data content features which provide enhanced visual and audio guidance such as: speed limits, detailed lane guidance and voice activation. Higher end models will also be equipped with 3D images, elevation data, satellite imagery and driver alerts to warn of hazards ahead such as railway crossings, steep hills, severe bends or narrowing road etc.

In addition, MEDION customers can get information on, and also buy, the latest map and software updates from a new dedicated download portal. Access will be via MEDION`s GoPal Assistant software tool which is supplied with every PND and easily installed on a PC. Standard one-off map updates will be available along with a multi-year subscription option. Initially the service will only cover maps but other content, such as POIs, will also soon be made available.

MEDION Vice-Chairman, Christian Eigen commented, "We are delighted to cement our relationship with NAVTEQ. The quality of the data and new content developments will enable us to continue bringing high quality devices to the market.”

"NAVTEQ is clearly pleased to be designated the global map provider for MEDION," said Serge Bussat, VP and GM for Consumer Applications Group NAVTEQ Europe. “We have collaborated on several different product lines and projects in the past. This agreement allows us to now focus our attention on bringing innovative map content to MEDION.”
