LAS VEGAS, NV – NAVTEQ, a global provider of digital map data for location-based solutions and vehicle navigation, have been chosen by Trimble and Telogis to supply NAVTEQ TRANSPORT truck attributes. Trimble’s TrimFleet family of products incorporates the GeoBase geospatial software platform from Telogis, which relies on NAVTEQ map data and utilizes the NAVTEQ TRANSPORT dataset.

NAVTEQ TRANSPORT, in conjunction with NAVTEQ map data, provides road attributes that directly affect truck routing. These attributes include legal restrictions, physical restrictions, and preferred truck routes. As an example, the detailed data included in NAVTEQ TRANSPORT allows fleet operations to route trucks away from low clearance areas and streets in which trucks cannot maneuver, helping to reduce incidents and minimize out-of-route miles. Furthermore, by matching routes to road-network reality, NAVTEQ TRANSPORT enables the development of applications that support more accurate route calculations.

Telogis’ GeoBase compiles NAVTEQ map data and NAVTEQ TRANSPORT into a proprietary, compact format — the GeoBase File System — that is optimized for high performance in enterprise applications. Trimble’s TrimFleet product line combines Telogis’ GeoBase software solution, NAVTEQ map data and NAVTEQ TRANSPORT to provide fleet owners with products that fit the needs of both small and large fleet operators. Trimble’s products offer a variety of solutions, ranging from simple tracking and messaging solutions to highly-integrated, location-based reporting.
