NAVTEQ™ Maps Offer Elevation Contours To Enhance Navigation System Map Display
New Product Enhancement Now Available To NAVTEQ customers licensing NAVTEQ Maps of Europe and North America
Chicago, IL – June 1, 2004 – NAVTEQ, a leading global provider of digital map data for in-vehicle navigation, Internet/wireless, business and government solutions, has enhanced NAVTEQ™ maps of North America and Europe with elevation contours: graphics that appear on navigation systems’ map displays indicating variations in geography along a driver’s route.
Elevation contours highlight changes in the elevation and landscape relevant to a driver’s individual route. Being able to note changes in geographic formations and land configuration helps drivers orient themselves, particularly when they are traveling along unfamiliar roadways. For example, drivers traveling to the Courchevel ski area in the French Alps could track elevation changes and geographic landmarks, bringing another facet of reality to their navigation experience.
This product enhancement also captures the elevation of landscapes above mean sea level, in meters or feet, at multiple altitude points. Elevation contours are available in Geographic Data (GDF) 3.0 and Standard Interchange Format (SIF+) free of charge to NAVTEQ customers licensing NAVTEQ maps of Europe and North America.
"The map display represents a critical way consumers interface with their navigation systems so our customers know this is an important way they can differentiate their product. Enhancing our maps with additional data layers like elevation contours is another way we are working to add value for our customers," says John MacLeod, NAVTEQ’s Executive Vice President – Global Marketing & Strategy. _________________ Mike Barrett

I wouldn't call it useless. The new, popular 3D mode, programs are now using would be very nice and informative if they actually depicted hills and moutntains. Even for hiking one could possible get a feel for the route before leaving on the hike. I think this would have very good possibilities in the future. But, yes, they should get the 2d stuf correct first.
