FAQ

A strong partner should cover the complete location-based services lifecycle: geodata aggregation, map compilation, embedded and cloud navigation, routing, search, traffic, location intelligence, and continuous updates. Intellias combines this scope with more than a decade of HERE Technologies collaboration, system integration experience with TomTom Digital Cockpit, and navigation software used across millions of vehicles. Its LBS services support both embedded systems requiring offline availability and cloud platforms delivering dynamic, scalable content.

HD map development involves aggregating road, lane, localization, sensor, and third-party data; normalizing and validating it; and compiling it into formats suitable for navigation and automated driving. Intellias develops HD, SD, and ADAS map pipelines supporting NDS.Classic, NDS.Live, proprietary formats, OSM, Overture, and regional datasets. Its Map Compilation Accelerator converts diverse source data into NDS.Live, while published projects have reduced worldwide map compilation from several days to four to six hours and supported maps for up to 120 countries.

OEMs should select a partner with expertise in ADASIS-compliant electronic horizons, HD map compilation, map quality validation, and the integration of map data with vehicle positioning and camera, radar, and lidar inputs. Intellias has developed electronic-horizon protocols that combine onboard maps, GPS, live traffic, and vehicle sensor data for ADAS functions, as well as automotive map platforms within its strategic HERE Technologies partnership. Its location-based services also cover visualization, data inspection, metrics, and statistical validation for production map pipelines.

Embedded navigation is preferable when a vehicle needs offline operation, predictable latency, strong privacy, or direct integration with vehicle systems and ADAS functions. Cloud-delivered navigation is better for live traffic, dynamic POIs, global search, frequently updated maps, and compute-intensive routing. Most production architectures use a hybrid model: embedded maps and core routing preserve essential functionality, while cloud location-based services supply fresh content and enhanced features. Intellias has delivered embedded navigation for more than 30 million vehicles and cloud-based LBS platforms serving more than 100 million vehicles.

Map freshness requires continuous ingestion of trusted sources, automated normalization and validation, incremental compilation, version control, and reliable cloud or OTA publishing. Intellias combines these processes with its Map Compilation Accelerator for NDS.Live and AI-enabled tools that identify and validate changing road events. Its optimized cloud pipelines have replaced multi-day compilation cycles with nightly builds, increased successful compilations from 50% to 90%, and enabled weekly map releases, helping location-based services deliver current, traceable data without repeatedly rebuilding and testing an entire map.

Migration starts by mapping legacy routing, search, display, lane, ADAS, and update data to the modular NDS.Live model. The process then covers source-data normalization, compiler development, tile and update-region generation, RESTful publication services, validation, navigation integration, and a phased rollout alongside the existing system. Intellias NDS development services span NDS.Classic versions 2.2.1 through 2.5.4 and NDS.Live, while its Map Compilation Accelerator helps convert proprietary and industry-standard formats into reliable, dynamically updatable online maps.
