In 1985, our founders recognized that the future of transportation would depend on something that didn't yet exist: comprehensive, accurate digital maps. Barry Karlin and Galen Collins pioneered the digitization of navigation with a vision to revolutionize how people and businesses understand and navigate the world. What began as Navteq evolved into HERE Technologies, now the world's #1 location platform powering over 180 million vehicles across more than 200 countries and territories.
Today, HERE serves as the unified live map for the world's leading automakers and enterprises. Our location platform enables automotive innovations from automated driving and digital cockpits to advanced driver assistance systems, while also supporting logistics, navigation, and location intelligence across industries. We've been a pioneer in mapping and location technology for nearly four decades, creating the first digital map and continuously pushing the boundaries of what's possible with spatial intelligence. Our open, secure platform puts privacy at the forefront, giving customers precision, flexibility, and control over their location data as they build safer, more efficient, and more intelligent solutions for the future of mobility.
