NAVTEQ was a premier global map data provider before being acquired and rebranded as HERE Technologies. The "2012 Q4" data represents a snapshot of the European road network as of the end of 2012. For users who haven't updated in a decade, installing this map will provide significant improvements over factory-installed maps from 2008 or 2009, including new roads, points of interest (POIs), and updated speed limits.
