The data collected by the Navteq analysts is used to supply and update mobile navigation device manufacturers, such as Garmin, Dell, and Thales, as well as vehicle navigation device manufacturers, including Alpine and Siemens, who in turn supply automakers such as Audi (pictured). Maps are updated every three months, with the latest version of each map database supplied to automakers and GPS device manufacturers for use in their latest products. Customers with older devices can receive map updates by DVD or through Web downloads.
