Chicago, IL--NAVTEQ (NYSE: NVT), a leading global provider of digital map data for vehicle navigation and location-based solutions, announces a demonstration that expands the existing 511 travelers information system's capability.The current Bay Area 511 system, provided by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), provides standard travelers services, such as traffic and weather reports, transit schedules and high level directions.The enhanced My511 service includes voice-enabled dynamic content in automated, personalized routes, enables a caller to input specific starting point and end destination information and to generate a driving route based on their unique selections.NAVTEQ is providing the map data, off-board routing capabilities and processing of the dynamic data.Also a leading provider of dynamic traffic data information for vehicle navigation, NAVTEQ is leveraging its existing dynamic data processing and aggregating capabilities to power the My511 demonstration.

"Real-time dynamic data vastly enhances a user's navigation experience," commented John MacLeod, Executive Vice President - Global Marketing and Strategy, NAVTEQ."NAVTEQ has proven capabilities to process and aggregate multiple dynamic data feeds, including ACME's real-time parking availability information, and we're working with MTC and ATX to further diversify the distribution of this data to users."

To further enhance the current 511 system, NAVTEQ has collaborated with ATX Group, a leading provider of telematics services and integrated voice technologies, and ACME Innovation, an applied technology company for converged communications and enhanced points of interest.ATX provides the automated voice-enabled driving directions, with ACME Innovation providing its patent pending ParkingCarma™ technology to enable real-time parking availability at selected downtown San Francisco parking garages.

"We are excited to be working with NAVTEQ on a voice-based service that provides so many benefits to the person on the go," said Dr.Tom Schalk, Vice President of Voice Technology for ATX."The My511 service not only tells you how long it will take you to get to your intended destination and dynamic content such as available parking and current traffic, but also allows routes to be stored for easy re-access when more direction is needed.The user can access detailed turn-by-turn information that generally is available to only those with visual navigation screen displays or GPS positioning technology."

"ACME is proud to collaborate with NAVTEQ, ATX and MTC on this enabling project," said Rick Warner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACME Innovation, Inc."One of ACME's major objectives with our intelligent transportation systems, ParkingCarma™ and SmartParking™, is to improve commuter conditions and reduce traffic congestion.We believe that bringing real-time parking information to motorists furthers this objective, as motorists will be able to travel a more direct route to parking facilities without worrying that they may be turned away because the facilities are full."

About ACME Innovation Inc.
ACME -- Designs and implements technology solutions in the transportation industry. Emeryville-based ACME Innovation Inc.is an applied technology company, specializing in converged communications and dynamic data services, with SmartParking™ and ParkingCarma™ as its flagship products.ACME Innovation's vision is to make people's lives more productive and support sustainable development by improving the experience of finding a place to park from one of uncertainty, frustration and fuel-wasting searching to one of ease and confidence.In early 2002, ACME as the systems integrator began customization and deployment of SmartParking and ParkingCarma technologies with UC Berkeley, Caltrans, and BART.Other specialist partners-Microsoft, Intel, and Quixote-were integrated into the design.This application of SmartParking was successfully used to address congestion problems with transit parking.ACME's ParkingCarma parking availability information system was customized to accommodate the needs of the BART transit network to provide riders with an easy and efficient means of access to parking.The result was that solo drivers became BART riders without sacrificing the convenience of timing their commute.Subsequently, ACME was engaged to assist the City of San Francisco in congestion mitigation by making parking-availability information accessible to drivers over the Internet, Voice/IVR and dynamically updated signs.
