The high resolution earth imagery provider, Digital Globe and NAVTEQ have announced a new relationship to improve the support to developers using NAVTEQ map data to include high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery from DigitalGlobe in their applications.

Under the terms of agreement, DigitalGlobe becomes the latest member of the Partner Zone program on the NAVTEQ Network for Developers (NN4D) and will provide developers access to sample imagery free of charge for a limited term during the software development process.

According to NAVTEQ's vice president, partner and developer programs, Marc Naddell, the new agreement will help to meet the imagery needs of the growing population of software developers building all types of location-oriented applications from navigation and fleet management to public safety and supply-chain management systems to consumer mobile and online applications.
