Navteq maps now include traffic camera locations in North America

Navteq just recently announced that speed and red light camera locations are now available for their North America maps. Called “Navteq Camera Alert”, the new platform includes up-to-date information about the exact location of speed limit cameras, red light cameras, as well as combined speed and red light cameras in 5000 locations throughout North America. We’re not sure what percentage of all the cameras in the U.S

Navteq just recently announced that speed and red light camera locations are now available for their North America maps. Called “Navteq Camera Alert”, the new platform includes up-to-date information about the exact location of speed limit cameras, red light cameras, as well as combined speed and red light cameras in 5000 locations throughout North America. We’re not sure what percentage of all the cameras in the U.S. these cover but 5000 is a good start.

How to interpret this new traffic camera location in Navteq maps is of course up to the navigation software makers. When combined with current speed limit and the reading from your GPS navigation system it can be used to warn drivers to slow down or watch out for red light cameras.
