GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains data suitable for routing applications, as it represents the complete navigable road network. For intersection-driven routing applications, the Z Levels layer can also be used to establish roadway connectivity. This layer contains address ranges for all addressable lines and polylines and is also used for geocoding. NAVSTREETS provides Addresses for each end of a line or polyline. "From" addresses correspond to the "Reference" end of the line or polyline, and "To" addresses correspond to the "Non-Reference" end of the line or polyline. This NAVTEQ dataset is released on a Quarterly basis. This dataset is a subset of the full NAVTEQ NAVSTREETS database.

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 maps provide a highly accurate representation of the detailed road 
network including hundreds of attributes such as turn restrictions, physical barriers 
and gates, one-way streets, restricted access and relative road heights. NAVTEQ 
digital map data offers accuracy, detail, reliability, and flexibility. Continuously 
updated to maintain its freshness and precision, NAVTEQ digital map data not only 
enables door-to-door routing it contains millions of Points of Interest (POIs), making 
it easy to locate everything from restaurants to hospitals and gas stations. 
NAVTEQ data are found onboard most navigation-enabled vehicles produced 
around the world and on all the top Internet navigation sites. It is the unseen force 
behind the leading express mail services, emergency and government routing 
plans, efficient field service management, as well as numerous fleet operations, 
worldwide. Plus, it is the foundation for a growing category of wireless, Location 
Based Services (LBS). NAVTEQ offers digital map coverage in 77 countries on 6 
continents. In addition to widely used GIS formats, including ESRI and MapInfo, 
data are also available in a number of other formats including RDF (Relational 
Data Format), GDF (Geographic Data Format), SIF+ (Standard Interchange 
Format), POI XML, and ODF (Oracle Delivery Format). An in-depth description of 
NAVTEQ datasets, data processing methodology, geometry, attributes, and 
metadata is provided to NAVTEQ customers through the NAVSTREETS 
Reference Manual and a number of other supplemental documents. NAVTEQ 
documentation uses standardized British spelling.

With the most accurate geometry, the highest number of attributes, and the most 
complete detailed coverage, NAVTEQ data is the ideal resource for Fleet 
applications that offer route planning and optimization, and GIS geocoding and 
other applications that require superior accuracy, and location-enabled services, 
from Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) and mobile social networking, to 
location-enabled entertainment, leisure, and business applications. Products, 
applications, and services that rely on digital mapping data can ensure superior 
performance and accuracy by using NAVSTREETS. 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.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding

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: 
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
