On January 25, 2007, Navteq announced that it has been selected to provide Panasonic with Navteq digital map data for the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico for the recently launched Panasonic Strada CN-NVD905U. The turn-by-turn voice guidance navigation system will also feature Sirius Traffic available through Sirius Satellite Radio.

The mobile navigation system is Panasonic's first foray into the aftermarket automotive navigation space in North America. The hard drive based in-dash system features a seven-inch, color touch panel LCD monitor with an intuitive interface and customizable destination menu providing for ease in route planning and destination searches.

To enhance the driving experience, the Panasonic navigation system receives live traffic information from Sirius Traffic, which uses Navteq Traffic data. Users who choose to subscribe can receive continuously updated traffic information in fifty markets across the U.S. and Canada. Visual notification of incidents and congestion allows drivers to see potential traffic delays and avoid traffic problems.
