NAVTEQ Map Voice Data™ is optimized for use with SIF+, GDF 3.0, NAVSTREETS® or Arc/Info™. NAVTEQ Map Voice Data is also integrated into the RDF™ product. However, it is also possible to use NAVTEQ Map Voice Data with NAVTEQ products through text matching. "Text matching" simply means using NAVTEQ Map Voice Data as a dictionary to look up each name, rather than using the ID references in the VAF and SWF files. Files associated with the NAVTEQ Map Voice Data product are matched with a specified quarterly release of NAVTEQ data. There may be some names (for example, newly created street names) that do not have an associated phonetic representation, these will be listed in the Unmatched File.
