"The launch of Intermediate Map sets in the Caribbean and Central America is an important milestone toward the achievement of NAVTEQ's strategy to provide broad coverage in the region.  The growing tourism market and its importance to the economies of the region place product development in this area high on NAVTEQ's priorities list.  We look forward to further map rollouts in the region," says Fernando Villasol, NAVTEQ Director for map and content, South America.
