Intellias Joins the NDS Association to Develop with the Worldwide Standard for Map Data
NDS Maps Expertise
Intellias has around 10 years of experience working with Navigation Data Standard maps, starting from the earliest versions. We specialize in both NDS Classic and NDS.Live formats, taking full responsibility for end-to-end NDS map delivery to Tier 1 suppliers and global OEMs. As an active member of the NDS Association, Intellias improves and develops the most recent and in-demand NDS.Live map data specification for online map services and dynamic map management used in software-defined vehicles.
Our proficiency extends to both SD and HD maps, enabling us to tackle complex and variable use cases including ADAS, HAD, and ISA. Intellias engineers have strong experience in NDS map format compilation and testing, including in all fundamental areas: routing, search, visualization, lanes, navigation, and more.

Intellias Navigation Data Standard capabilities
Data preparation and structuring
We integrate diverse data sources and providers, applying complex algorithms to create a unified and comprehensive navigation dataset. Intellias engineers align map data with the NDS format and structure, accurately partitioning data into NDS update regions based on specific geographic areas.
Map compilation and development
We develop NDS map format compilers for HD, SD, and ADAS maps, enabling efficient and scalable compilation pipelines. You can rely on Intellias experts to solve both common and complex issues in NDS map compilation, addressing challenges related to disputed areas, gateways, and update region size to ensure the highest quality and accuracy of delivered maps.
Map validation and testing
We develop and use frameworks, tools, and the NDS data validation suite with its extensions to ensure the delivery of high-quality map data. Through comprehensive unit, function, and integration testing, we assess map quality and gather valuable metrics based on compiled data, ensuring that delivered maps comply with the NDS format.
NDS.Live map services
We actively contribute to the development of NDS.Live standards, extending the NDS.Live Certification Kit with custom tests to ensure exceptional map quality. Our team is skilled in building RESTful and map publishing services specifically tailored to NDS.Live specifications, including development and integration of seamless upgrades and individual data modules.
Map packaging
Intellias engineers optimize and prepare NDS Classic maps for various delivery methods (including SD cards, map download portals, streaming, and OTA updates) to ensure seamless distribution of automotive navigation data to end customers with optimal compatibility and convenience.
Map compliance
We ensure that delivered maps are certified as NDS format compliant, meeting the stringent requirements set by regulatory bodies. Intellias has extensive experience adapting navigation solutions to comply with country-specific requirements, including addressing demands related to borders, toponyms, and other map content.
Map data visualization
To enable the visualization and validation of NDS data from various sources across all building blocks, we develop advanced tools and solutions using a street-level 3D model. Our developers have vast experience working with key data visualization components including geospatial catalogs, map layers, notebooks, and visualization libraries.
End-to-end map delivery
We take full responsibility for delivering NDS maps to our clients and their end customers (global OEMs), ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. We design and implement parallel end-to-end map data compilation processes, configuring deployment environments for efficient NDS database and map delivery.
Map optimization
We specialize in optimizing the use of compiler resources, resulting in reduced map compilation time and minimized map size. By identifying and eliminating bottlenecks within existing compilation pipelines, we ensure efficient NDS services and streamlined processes.
Map data migration
Our expertise includes seamless migration of NDS.Classic map data, enabling a smooth transition to the NDS.Live standard. We ensure a comprehensive and efficient migration process with high compatibility and data integrity to unlock all advantages of the latest NDS.Live specifications for enhanced map experiences.
