Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components. Let $\lambda$ be a simplicial map of the complex of curves, $\mathcal{C}(N)$, on $N$ which satisfies the following: $[a]$ and $[b]$ are connected by an edge in $\mathcal{C}(N)$ if and only if $\lambda([a])$ and $\lambda([b])$ are connected by an edge in $\mathcal{C}(N)$ for every pair of vertices $[a], [b]$ in $\mathcal{C}(N)$. We prove that $\lambda$ is induced by a homeomorphism of $N$ if $(g, n) \in \{(1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0)$, $(2, 1), (3, 0)\}$ or $g + n \geq 5$. Our result implies that superinjective simplicial maps and automorphisms of $\mathcal{C}(N)$ are induced by homeomorphisms of $N$.
