Chicago, IL: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected NAVTEQ map data to power its geospatial analysis needs.
The EPA uses geospatial data across a wide variety of research and regulatory programs in support of its mission to protect human health and the environment. NAVTEQ map data will be used in a wide range of the EPA’s mission support areas, both for internal analysis in support of decision making as well as enhancing many of its public facing mapping applications available on the Internet.
One representative use of NAVTEQ map data will be the further development of the Texas Ecological Assessment Protocol, which requires the development of a sustainability layer that describes how resistant a particular area is to disturbance.
NAVTEQ map data includes geospatial vector data layers of important value to the EPA including roads, cities, political boundaries, physical features, places, railroads, census boundaries, parks, schools, fire departments, police departments, and hospitals.
