Navteq presented its new SW 'Discover Cities' for mobile dev

NAVTEQ showcased 'Discover Cities' during CeBIT 2008, which is the first bundled digital map data and location content to bring the power of a local guide to mobile devices. The product is now available for major cities in Europe, with plans in place to expand to major Asian and Latin American cities later in the year in addition to multiple existing North American cities.
The NAVTEQ Discover Cities combines pedestrian thoroughfares like sidewalks, walkways, tunnels and bridges with time-sensitive public transit system information to enable true multi-modal routing. For the first time, urban travelers in Europe with enabled devices will be able to take full advantage of their surroundings by being able to get from place to place using the most time efficient and closest transportation option.
Business travelers and tourists will also have a better understanding of what's around them, enhancing orientation even in unfamiliar cities for greater efficiency on business trips and more memorable vacations. This represents a significant increase in features and functionality than previous versions of the product.
