Navteq is supplying map data and content to Daimler for the Mercedes E Class range plus the CLS-Class model, with almost all Daimler passenger vehicle navigation platforms in Europe now powered by the company.

The introduction of Daimler’s next generation NTG 4.5 system platform for the Mercedes E and CLS Class models was apparently brought forward due to customer demand.

In addition to pan-European map coverage, Navteq is supplying a broad range of advanced content including Navteq traffic patterns – a database of average travel speeds which predicts where and when traffic jams will happen.

Navteq’s 3D Landmarks and 3D City Models aid orientation in unfamiliar places, while driver alert warnings, motorway junction view, speed limits, extended lanes and digital terrain models also feature.
