A closer look at NAVTEQ Junction Views

Historically, navigation has focused on simple turn-by-turn directions to get from point A to point B, but consumers are seeking simpler ways to be guided. Junction Views provide simplified lane level guidance at the most complicated intersections with a simple, easy to understand image of the intersection and dynamically placed directional arrows.

What are Junction Views?
NAVTEQ Junction Views are images of complicated intersections. Junction View illustrations include: basic road geometry, number of lanes, divider type, lane markings, and on/off ramp with additional landmarks for guidance such as bridges, tunnels, overpasses, and toll gates.
