FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: NAVTEQ_MAJHWYS_OCT11.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
LINK_ID	Link ID The unique number used to identify each link (road segment) in the NAVTEQ database. For POIs and other related layers, the unique number used to identify an associated link. This set of unique integer identifiers provides primary keys and is consistent between dataset versions. LINK_ID values are never reused. If a feature is changed, split, or removed, new LINK_ID values are assigned and old ones retired.
HIGHWAY_NM	Highway Name The Highway Name is a combination of Feature Name, Street Type, Name Prefix and Name Suffix.
LANG_CODE	Language Code The language associated with the feature name. ENG = English
HWAY_NM_TR	Undefined by Source
HWAY_TRTYP	Undefined by Source
DIRONSIGN	Direction On Sign Indicates the official directional identifiers assigned to highways, typically either North/South or East/West. N = North, Norte, Nord S = South, Sud, Sur E = East, Est, Este W = West O = Oeste, Ouest
FUNC_CLASS	Functional Class Functional Class defines the network used to determine a logical and efficient route for a traveler. The Functional Class network is a hierarchical classification of roads based on reality. Density and pattern of each Functional Class level is influenced by the physical road network that exists in reality. Physical road network density variations between countries and between regions within a country are reflected in the Functional Class network. For example, the density of the road network differs between North American and European countries. Even within the U.S., for instance, density will vary from the East Coast to the West Coast. 1 = Roads with very few, if any speed changes, typically controlled access, and provide high volume, maximum speed movement between and through major metropolitan areas. 2 = Roads with very few, if any speed changes, and provide high volume, high speed traffic movement. Typically used to channel traffic to (and from) Level 1 roads. 3 = Roads which interconnect Level 2 roads and provide a high volume of traffic movement at a lower level of mobility than Level 2 roads. 4 = Roads that provide for a high volume of traffic movement at moderate speeds between neighborhoods. 5 = All other roads. NA = Not Applicable
ROUTE_TYPE	Route Type A route type value indicates that the road's name is actually a route number and in many countries is displayed in a shield symbol (i.e. Interstate and State routes in the U.S.). This numeric code can be used to determine the level of road/route type, by country, from tables in the NAVSTREETS Reference Manual. 1 = U.S. Interstate or European Level 1 Road 2 = U.S. Federal or European Level 2 Road 3 = U.S. State or European Level 3 Road 4 = U.S. County or European Level 4 Road 5 = European Level 5 Road 6 = European Level 6 Road blank = Not Applicable
FERRY_TYPE	Ferry Type indicates ferry type if the link is part of a boat or ferry route. B = Boat Ferry H = Street Route R = Rail Ferry
DESCRIPT	GeoPlan added field based on HIGHWAY_NM
FGDLAQDATE	Date GeoPlan acquired data from source.
AUTOID	Unique ID added by GeoPlan
SHAPE.LEN	Length in meters

USER NOTES:

NAVTEQ data contains the most navigable attributes available in a database. Utilizing the data to its fullest allows the user to access Layers such as expressway ramps, complete and correct connectivity of all roadways, one-way streets, physical, logical, and legal turn restrictions, construction projects, as well as physical and painted lane dividers. In addition to these navigable attributes, NAVTEQ data provides address ranges down to the level of the correct side of the street.

NAVTEQ provides 4 levels of street map coverage: Detailed City, Inter-Town, In-Process Data and Connector areas. Detailed City is NAVTEQ's highest level of coverage. This coverage level has the most detail and enables door-to-door routing functionality. Inter-Town coverage includes the main highway network and all the necessary attributes required to allow routing from city to city. Inter-Town links are coded with attributes Detailed City Inclusion = N and In-Process Data = N. For Inter-town links, the Full Geometry attribute flag may be set to either yes or no depending on the presence or lack of surrounding In-Process Data Coverage. In many countries, NAVTEQ has used a commercial source to add local roads to the Inter-Town network. The inclusion of this geometry allows improved map display and guidance. This coverage level is called Full Coverage in the U.S. and Road Network Coverage in Europe. The Connector Specification enables NAVTEQ to maintain minimum coverage in areas prior to completing (full) Detailed City (DC), Inter Town (IT), or In-Process areas. For defining a hierarchical network used to determine a logical and efficient route for a traveler, each NAVTEQ street segment is tagged with a 5 level Functional Class (FC) attribute explained as follows. FC 1: Very long distance routes between major cities - The "highest level" network comprises the FC 1 arterials, which are primarily controlled access highways designed for very-long-distance travel linking major metropolitan areas and cities, FC 2: Primary routes between major and smaller cities and through metro areas, FC 3: Major routes between minor cities or towns, and through city districts, FC 4: Routes connecting minor towns or villages and collecting the local traffic in the city districts, and FC 5: Roads that are not efficient through routes - The "lowest level" and final category is FC 5, which comprises roads not considered to be arterials or transportation corridors.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

NAVTEQ data drives most in-vehicle navigation systems around the world, the top routing Web sites, and the leading brands of wireless devices. Designed for rapid display and retrieval of attributes for routing, NAVTEQ data additionally provides support for express mail services, emergency and government routing plans, efficient field service management, wireless Location Based Services (LBS), and delivery of real-time traffic information.

The positional accuracy of a given NAVTEQ street segment depends on the value of the Enhanced Geometry (ENH_GEOM) attribute. Links with Enhanced Geometry = Y conform to accuracy requirements of +/-5 meters for absolute position and +/- 1 meter for relative position. The minimum length of any street segment, independent of generalization, is 2 meters/7 feet.

REFERENCES: DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

NAVTEQ's comprehensive data build process ensures the highest quality data available for routing and mapping applications. The process begins with establishing a field office in the new build area. Sources or Base Maps are acquired from a variety of sources including local governments, utility companies, other public agencies, and commercial mapping agencies. These maps are then carefully reviewed and digitized. All base map data is further enhanced with aerial photos and differential GPS to accurately position roads and represent lakes, rivers, railroads, etc., and proprietary software is then used to add navigable information, addresses, and points of interest. NAVTEQ additionally road tests the data to further add to the quality of the database. Field office staff drives the roads and streets to collect and verify new data. Photographs are also taken of overhead signage to ensure that the data accurately reflects the real world. Process Date: Unknown NAVTEQ digital map data is built on the roads of the world. Over seven hundred NAVTEQ field researchers from approximately 168 offices drive millions of kilometers of the road network each year. To provide uniformity and maximize precision each team works to a single global specification. And each team has state-of-the-art equipment, including our proprietary GPS-based collection technology and software. Process Date: Unknown NAVSTREETS is a NAVTEQ extraction format. The NAVTEQ data production environment, while not designed to be adopted directly by customers, is designed to insulate customers from data structure changes, additions, and deletions. NAVTEQ uses data extraction formats to "publish" NAVTEQ data externally to its customers, enabling them to process map data into their own production environment. These extraction formats generally have a design that is independent from the NAVTEQ internal production environment, and are not impacted when NAVTEQ modifies parts of the production environment. Extraction formats generally publish the same content, with differences only in the representation of the data. Process Date: Unknown NAVTEQ uses a six-step production process to build its digital road maps: source acquisition, source normalization, geometry development, field data collection, geocoding, and data validation. These steps involve compiling maps, charts and imagery, driving the road network, developing proprietary tools and processes, using hundreds of automated validation tests, and periodically re-driving the roads to ensure the data are as up-to-date as possible. Process Date: Unknown Data validation: NAVTEQ subjects the data to hundreds of automated validation tests to provide accuracy. These tests are complemented by regular reports from the field teams, who periodically re-drive the roads and streets to collect and verify new data, and confirm the accuracy of all information contained in the database. Process Date: Unknown Geocoding: The field and production teams code the one-ways, turn restrictions, postal codes, and other details to every location on the map. Process Date: Unknown Field data collection: Using proprietary tools and processes, NAVTEQ collects everything from road geometry to road attributes, 300 in all, on roads, streets, and highways throughout the world. Proprietary software is used to add navigable information, addresses, and points of interest. Photographs are also taken of overhead signage to ensure that the data accurately reflects the real world. Process Date: Unknown Geometry development: NAVTEQ verifies (and if needed, corrects) the data by bringing together the source material, field data gathered through driving the road network, and additional digital imagery. Base map data is further enhanced with aerial photos and differential GPS to accurately position roads and represent lakes, rivers, railroads, etc. Process Date: Unknown Source normalization: Source maps are carefully reviewed and digitized. The data are normalized and entered into the NAVTEQ database. Process Date: Unknown Source acquisition: The process begins with establishing a field office in the new build area. Source or Base Maps are acquired from a variety of sources including local governments, utility companies, other public agencies, and commercial mapping agencies. These sources of information, in the form of maps, charts, and imagery, provide the basic roadway detail for the new build area. Process Date: Unknown NAVTEQ Data users can help maintain and improve data accuracy by reporting suggested changes to NAVTEQ. Map updates can be submitted through the web based Map Reporter application at http://mapreporter.navteq.com/dur-web-external/. The status of updates can also be checked at this website after submittals. Process Date: Unknown GeoPlan acquired this data from the Florida Department of Transportation in May 2011.
