News: Navteq announce Natural Guidance at IFA 2010
Navteq announce Natural Guidance "Humanising the navigation experience" at IFA 2010. What is natural guidance? Well it is simply navigation instructions as you would get if you stopped and asked a local for directions.
When you are driving and your passenger is navigating you will not hear "after 300 yards take the second right". What you will normally hear is "turn left at the pub". Indeed if you ask for directions they will normally be related to local landmarks. This is where Navteq Natural Guidance comes in.
Navteq have reviewed the navigation data for several major cities including London, Paris, and New York to provide data enabling navigation companies to implement more traditional guidance keys. Thinking about this it is a huge job, and it needs to be duplicated as it must cater for travel in both directions. This is available as a sequence of attributes connected to each junction. These contain details about building type, colour, direction, etc.
