ISO gives car industry new interface
As the car navigation industry has grown so has incompatibility between navigation systems and the databases that store important location information. Additionally, there is a need to more easily develop navigation system applications. ISO is contributing solutions to those issues with an International Standard for a navigation system application programming interface (API). ISO 17267:2009, intelligent transport systems – Navigation systems – API, will help facilitate the interoperability between navigation systems and map databases by providing an interface that will make information accessible and retrievable as well as assist developers of navigation systems. The new standard describes what data may be retrieved from a database, defines the interface for access and specifies a set of navigation function calls.
