-- Point of Interest (POI) Content: 2009 CES will mark the first time NAVTEQ demonstrates three integral offerings of its dynamic POI content portfolio: Air Travel Status, Event Listings and Fuel Prices. NAVTEQ dynamic POI content -- launching first in the U.S., with expansion to Europe thereafter -- brings the map to life with robust, relevant and real-time information that lends itself to quick and flexible integration into location- aware navigation applications.
Additionally, an in-booth demonstration will feature rich POI content, which provides travel, leisure and lifestyle content from well-known, high quality brands. In fact, at CES, NAVTEQ will discuss significant additions to its rich POI content portfolio from Travel Channel and Yelp.
As with all POI content products from NAVTEQ, content from these new products is precisely geocoded and matched to Core POI on the NAVTEQ map wherever possible; these steps reduce customer costs and speed content integration.
Other NAVTEQ product and services demonstrations include:
-- Fuel Efficiency: A kiosk featuring Magneti Marrelli will provide visitors with greater insight into the "green" movement by showcasing fuel efficiency through green routing and eco-driving utilizing digital map data.
-- NAVTEQ Discover Cities(TM): A demonstration application from NAVITIME will highlight NAVTEQ's integrated package of pedestrian-centric content that enables people to orient themselves and navigate efficiently by foot and via public transit systems.

The data bundle also includes the NAVTEQ Smart Traffic Processor(TM), a unique traffic processing and quality control mechanism. Additionally, well-known consumer companies will provide in-booth demonstrations of NAVTEQ Traffic.
