DatabaseThe '''Navigation Data Standard''' ('''NDS''') is a standardized format for automotive-grade [[Map database management|navigation databases]], jointly developed by [[automobile manufacturer]]s and suppliers. NDS is an association registered in Germany. Members are automotive [[Original equipment manufacturer|OEMs]], [[geographic information system|map data]] providers, and [[navigation system|navigation device]]/application providers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nds-association.org/|title=Navigation Data Standard|accessdate=2015-02-13|publisher=NDS e.V.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Navigation_Data_Standard|title=OpenStreetMap wiki|accessdate=2015-02-13|publisher=OpenStreetMap}}</ref>

NDS aims to develop a standardized binary database format that allows the [[data exchange|exchange]] of navigation data between different systems. NDS separates navigation software from navigation data, thus enhancing flexibility for creating various navigation products for end users. In addition to this [[interoperability]], NDS databases support [[Map database management#Incremental update|incremental updates]], protection against illegal use, and compactness.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nds-association.org/#thestandard|title=The NDS Standard|accessdate=2018-02-15|publisher=NDS e.V.|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150213203530/http://www.nds-association.org/the-nds-standard/|archivedate=2015-02-13|df=}}</ref>
