North America camera location information helps enable solutions that give
drivers better knowledge of maximum speeds and traffic signals – with
alerts at the right place and at the right time.”

format, which makes it easier for NAVTEQ customers to implement. The
addition of this comprehensive camera location information complements
other features already available in the map such as railway crossings,
school zones and traffic signals. All of these features can be utilized in
a variety of combinations to create powerful alert and warning systems for
