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.
