The fully navigable map offers more 700,000 miles of roadway and 100 percent population coverage. According to Navigation Technologies, the product features up to about 150 attributes -- such as street names, address ranges, turn restrictions, and speed limits -- that help people efficiently route to their destinations.

Some cartographic features such as major lakes and rivers are also included in the product. "The effort involved in building the full coverage map was significant," said John MacLeod, executive vice president - Global Marketing & Strategy for Navigation Technologies. "More than 20 field analysts drove approximately 54,000 kilometers of roadway, verifying and updating information. We're tireless in our effort to offer accurate maps that reflect the reality of the roads and that effort is reflected in the products we deliver to our customers."
