NAVTEQ: $600 offer for an Iowa County’s Data

Discussions are ongoing in Johnson County Iowa about whether to sell, not sell or give away its GIS data. The discussion is being prompted by NAVTEQ’s offer of $600 for the data.

Navteq has offered $600 for Johnson County’s road-address information to incorporate into an online database used by global-positioning-system car maps.

There are privacy concerns noted, so I’m not sure at all about which data the article speaks. I first thought centerlines and address ranges, but then pondered address point data. I hope the county knows which data NAVTEQ wants!
