NAVITEQ is the only Bulgarian company that systematically collects road data (geometry, street directions, road signs etc) with a mobile laboratory.

The mobile lab is equipped with the latest spherical camera and precise professional GPS device. The GPS and the camera collect data for coordinate positioning and video information.   

Experts in the NAVITEQ office combine the gathered geospatial data and process information for road network, road junctions and restrictions, navigation information and so on.
The result is a detailed and reliable digital map.  

The mobile laboratory can provide additional services at the client’s request (for example, road video information, number of floors and heights of buildings).
Questionnaires are a widely used technique for accurate data collection in cities and urban territories.

A field team of trained staff (with professional background in geodesy) collect, correct and update information such as the name and width of streets, navigation information, addresses, block/building numbers.

This method enables us to collect a rich database of Points of Interest, including places for sports and recreation, museums, shopping and entertainment centres, restaurants and petrol stations.
In addition we can collect supplementary data according to our clients’ needs.
Satellite images and aerial photographs are well-established sources of geospatial data.

NAVITEQ acquires such images for territories in Bulgaria, which are digitized using professional mapping software.
The object names and information in NAVITEQ Geo Data products are unified and in accordance with the Bulgarian state classifiers and nomenclatures.  
   
NAVITEQ uses commercial and open sources for gathering geospatial data, such as the National Statistical Institute (ЕКАТТЕ), DG Civil Registration and Administrative Services, the Central Laboratory for Roads and Highways, the Agency for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre, and others.
