Travel guide publisher DK Eyewitness Travel has signed an agreement with global mapping company Navteq.

As a result of this deal, the travel content from the DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel guidebook series will be delivered across a number of devices and systems for both in-car and pedestrian navigation.

The product initially covers nine European cities and is now available to Navteq customers. Content will be available in six European languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch.

The new agreement will see DK Eyewitness Travel listings geo-coded to Points of Interest on the Navteq map and can enable navigation devices, and mobile and online navigation systems around the world to incorporate this information into search and display functionality.

The initial nine cities covered include Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris and Rome.
