HERE Technologies

HERE Technologies builds digital maps and location technology for automakers and enterprises. Founded in 1985 as Navteq and now describing itself as the world's leading location platform, the company supplies comprehensive, accurate digital maps and the software infrastructure to use them. Its platform reaches more than 200 countries and territories and powers over 180 million vehicles.

The company's central product is the HERE location platform: a unified live map with open, secure APIs. Automotive customers use it for automated driving, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and digital cockpits; other sectors apply it to navigation, logistics and location intelligence. The underlying digital map, first created by the company's predecessor, is maintained continuously through what HERE calls spatial intelligence.

Technical work spans digital mapping, spatial intelligence, ADAS, navigation, logistics technology and data privacy. The company positions itself as a privacy-first provider, giving customers control over their location data while keeping the platform open and secure. Its stated focus is on safer, more efficient and more intelligent mobility, pursued with a self-described pioneering approach to mapping technology.

HERE operates globally, with coverage extending to more than 200 countries and territories and nearly four decades of continuous work in mapping and location technology.
