Is Navteq doing their own Google Streetview equivalent? Saw a car driving around this morning but unlike the google cars with just a camera on top it had some bizarre spinning contraption!

Wonder what other interesting features that might bring Smile

Seem odd that they'd re-do something Google has already done and probably licenses out to companies. I cant even begin to guess how much it must have cost them.

Be interesting to see if they do have a new technology though.Maybe 3D street view :p

Seems like you were right! The spinning thing is a laser array to get accurate 3D mapping :w00t:

Now that could potentially be sh*t hot!

Just imagine picking any street in the world and being able to walk down it virtual reality style!

Yep the possibilities are quite spectacular, I imagine part of it will be to have navigation tracking through the actual city rather than just on a map which would be pretty cool.
