New Product: NAVTEQ Parcel Boundaries


Directions Magazine has an article about a new product from NAVTEQ -- Parcel Boundaries data. Acording to the article: "NAVTEQ parcels are acquired from at least 4,100 tax mapping authorities, each with disparate format, projection, datamodel, and highly varied usage/distribution policies. NAVTEQ has builta standard format, structure and projection into which the company hasstandardized the data. Parcels are checked for accuracy, streetalignment, projection, etc."


Is this the writing on the wall for those of us in the GIS parcel data development/maintenance business?

Here is the full article.

    MY COMMENT POSTED TO DIRECTIONS MAGIZINE THREAD. - It will be interesting to see how this plays out in States where the creation and MAINTENANCE of Tax Maps, and I would expect derivitive parcel products are under the licensed practice of Land Surrveying. If the product is is just a image of the signed and sealed page with all of the required info that would be only a publishing issue , but when the offering is a deliniation of an "improved" parcel the outcome will be less obvious.

    It will be interesting
