Navigation Technologies, a
provider of digital map data for vehicle navigation, Internet/wireless and
business applications, announced May 28 that BellSouth RealPages.com, an
online yellow page provider, will incorporate the use of Navtech
digital map data into the RealPages.com web site (RealPages.com).
