DigitalGlobe and NAVTEQ recently announced that they have joined forces to allow software developers using NAVTEQ map data to integrate high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery from DigitalGlobe into their applications. In addition, this agreement will provide developers access to sample imagery free of charge for a limited term during the software development process.

DigitalGlobe is now a member of the Partner Zone program on the NAVTEQ Network for Developers (NN4D), which provides registered members with a multitide of valuable data and tools. Developers will now have access to a variety of technical content from DigitalGlobe including whitepapers, user documentation, sample code, live and on-demand webinars, and a hosted discussion forum allowing developers to obtain a thorough understanding of how best to access DigitalGlobe’s extensive collection of current and historical sub-meter earth imagery.

In addition, during the development process, developers will have the ability to incorporate imagery into their applications during the development and testing process before purchasing a license for use when a new commercial application is launched.

The agreement represents an extension of an existing, long-standing relationship between these two USGIF members in which DigitalGlobe supplies imagery to NAVTEQ to aid in the map creation process in certain areas of the world.
