NAVTEQ Secures PTV AG Data for NAVTEQ Traffic Patterns(TM) Germany


BARCELONA, Spain, February 11 /PRNewswire/ --

Mobile World Congress 2008, booth #1G45 -- NAVTEQ (NYSE: NVT), a leading
global provider of digital map data for vehicle navigation and location-based
solutions, today announced an agreement with PTV AG covering the use of PTV
traffic data for the development of NAVTEQ Traffic Patterns in Germany.

PTV AG will provide NAVTEQ with data that quantifies the traffic flow
averages for arterial roads within Germany. The data is based on the
comprehensive and innovative traffic model developed by PTV, which is
continually validated with sensor and probe data. NAVTEQ will use proven
proprietary technology to geo-reference, enhance and optimize this data for
inclusion in the NAVTEQ Traffic Patterns Germany product.

NAVTEQ Traffic Patterns is a database of average traffic flow velocity
for roadways geo-referenced to the NAVTEQ map database. Traffic Patterns
provides the foundation for predictive traffic applications, offering
developers enhanced alternate route features and more accurate drive time
estimates for logistics and navigation products. Consumer navigation devices
recently launched in North America, equipped with NAVTEQ Traffic Patterns,
now calculate the most ideal route based on time of the day and day of the
week as traffic patterns change.

"PTV and NAVTEQ have worked together for many years on a variety of
initiatives," noted Hans Hubschneider, CEO and spokesman of the board for PTV
AG. "We know that NAVTEQ insists on high quality dynamic traffic data for
their European coverage expansion. PTV will help provide insight and local
expertise to support this launch."

"NAVTEQ Traffic is a leader in North America, it is our goal to build on
this success in Europe by offering innovative products based on agreements
with industry leaders like PTV," explained Howard Hayes, vice president for
NAVTEQ. "An example of an innovative product using Traffic Patterns is our
recently launched 'Fastest Drive Now' feature at www.traffic.com. It
calculates the most ideal route taking into consideration time of day,
real-time traffic conditions, and historical traffic patterns."

At GSMA Mobile World Congress, February 11-14, 2008, NAVTEQ is
demonstrating NAVTEQ Traffic Patterns(TM) capabilities in booth #1G45.
