Oracle continues to invest in making maps and location-enabled applications available to all developers and applications. The use of standard Oracle database components like Oracle Locator and Oracle Spatial continues to expand rapidly, and Oracle MapViewer is included in every Oracle Application Server and Oracle Fusion Middleware installation. These technologies are enabling next-generation mapping and location analysis capabilities in the Oracle database and application server.

More and more, businesses are requiring the capability to show assets on a map and to visualize their key performance indicators geographically in a clear and concise way. This is driving application developers, who understand the need to easily add maps to their applications.

Oracle and NAVTEQ have been collaborating to provide turnkey map and other content specifically created for the Oracle platform. This content conforms to the Oracle Locator and Oracle Spatial standards for mapping and location analysis, geocoding and routing. NAVTEQ location content includes prebuilt tables and indexes and installs in minutes using Oracle Transportable Tablespaces. NAVTEQ data is utilized by all Oracle applications that require maps and other location content and is also optionally used by many more Oracle and custom applications.

NAVTEQ has been providing map data and content for Oracle customers since 2002. NAVTEQ maps and enhanced content meet the rigorous mapping and location analysis requirements of applications such as:

  • Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)
  • Oracle Field Service
  • Oracle Utilities
  • Oracle Communications
  • Oracle Transportation Management
  • JDeveloper
  • Oracle Fusion Middleware MapViewer
  • Oracle eLocation Services
  • Oracle Spatial

All Oracle developers have the ability to incorporate NAVTEQ content into their applications using the same standard, easy-to-use APIs and tools that are used to location-enable the Oracle-packaged applications.

NAVTEQ is the only supplier of global content that delivers a turnkey data solution for the Oracle platform. NAVTEQ provides geographic data that conforms to the Oracle standards for geocoding, mapping and routing. NAVTEQ content for Oracle comes with preconfigured maps and installs in just minutes.

The NAVTEQ map is a core element in the deployment of Oracle Spatial 10g and Oracle 11g software solutions that utilize any combination of mapping, geocoding, routing and location analysis. Whether viewing business performance data from a geographic perspective using Oracle's MapViewer or location-enabling customer records with the Oracle Spatial Geocoder, the NAVTEQ-Oracle platform is fully interoperable with your Oracle environments and meets the rigorous Oracle standards for spatial content. Oracle is now making select NAVTEQ datasets available to system integrators and developers worldwide.

BIWA Webinar: Visualization Using Maps in Oracle Business Intelligence 11g
New in Oracle Business Intelligence 11g is the ability to easily create dashboards that incorporate map views that can display your key performance indicators. In 11g, maps are simply a new type of view – just like tables and graphs. You can color-code a map based on some metric (e.g., show sales regions color-coded by revenue), overlay graphs on a map (e.g., show revenue by product category for each region of the country) and drill on a map (e.g., from sales regions down to sales districts). You can combine performance data with demographic information and NAVTEQ points-of-interest data to understand not only what, but why.

Web Services

For over ten years NAVTEQ has been shipping database content that can be rendered using Oracle Fusion Middleware MapViewer, Oracle's Application Server map rendering, integration, and mash-up software. Oracle customers have asked NAVTEQ for access to its industry leading map data and location content through an external web service while still using Oracle Fusion Middleware MapViewer. This will eliminate the task of maintaining the content in the database for mapping applications.

Click here to download content and instructions to use NAVTEQ's map service as an integrated component with Oracle Fusion Middleware MapViewer.

Click here to see how NAVTEQ's web services such as real-time traffic, traffic incidents, and real-time gas prices as well as NAVTEQ content stored directly in the database (such as toll roads) can be added to your Oracle applications.
