HERE, the leading location cloud

Our mission is to make maps for a better life.

 

We’re building the world’s leading location cloud, which connects a broad range of devices and software with intelligent maps to better serve our consumer, automotive and enterprise customers.

How we do it

HERE is a leader in navigation, mapping and location experiences. We build high-definition (HD) maps and combine them with cloud technology to help you and your business navigate a complex world with personalised solutions. Anytime, everywhere, across a broad range of devices, operating systems and vehicles.

 

Connecting maps to people, places and things

We are passionate about maps and offer world-class location products and services via three business units:

Consumer
offers guidance for people whether driving, walking or taking public transit. The HERE smartphone app makes it easy to get around with maps that are available across popular devices and wearables - even without an Internet connection.

Automotive leads the industry, offering a wide range of products and services to enable smart guidance experiences and to make cars more intelligent. We combine highly accurate and fresh location analytics with leading software technology that takes into account personal preferences and driving habits to make driving easier and safer.

Enterprise helps companies better manage their resources by accessing our global and flexible location services such as truck routing and data visualisation. 

 

In all areas, we strive to create sustainable and reliable solutions that not only help our customers keep up with change, but provide opportunities to lead it.

Maps for people, made by people

Our global reach is unmatched. We’ve created maps for 196 countries with more than half navigation grade. In addition we have public transit maps in more than 950 cities and indoor maps for more than 90,000 buildings across over 11,000 venues. With millions of daily updates and the support of our online community using the HERE Map Creator, we make the world’s most detailed, accurate and up-to-date maps. 

 

HERE works with business partners to ensure their customers the best available location solutions. Built on the core of our map data, the HERE Platform for business offers a powerful and flexible set of software services that are fast and easy for companies to access, from anywhere in the world.

HERE keeps people moving

HERE makes it easy for people to get around in a world of constant change. Whether on foot, public transport or in a car, HERE apps provide everyday guidance with accurate maps that are always available. Even without an Internet connection, our widely acclaimed offline navigation can still provide search and turn-by-turn voice directions.

 
 

Save time and data

Save our interactive maps directly on a device and use them offline in more than 100 countries. Search for a place and get driving directions, public transit routes and walking navigation without a data connection.

HERE app offerings work seamlessly on a broad range of phones, tablets and computers. Our beautiful “look and feel” makes finding your way delightful. At HERE, we develop technology to keep up with a world that is faster and more urbanised every day. It’s location intelligence made easy to create more sustainable lifestyles.

Never be late or lost

We all know the feeling of being lost when arriving at a new place. Those days are over with Here.com. At home on a computer or smartphone, plan trips ahead of time using Collections. Save the address for a job interview, a new café across town or a museum on the other side of the world. Then keep your favourite places on Collections to have them at hand and view them on any of your devices.

HERE calculates the best routes based on personal preferences and real-time information. Whether walking to meet friends, getting to work on the train or driving to the airport, we’ll get to the right place on time. For those who prefer comfort over speed, HERE can figure that out, too.

Leading people into the future

We believe that maps at their core are answers to the questions that people have every day. Those questions are growing ever more complicated – from how to safely navigate ever growing urban environments to how we can feel like a local wherever we are. That’s why we are taking maps far beyond where they are today to deliver location intelligence that is an intuitive, relevant and seamless part of people’s lives every day.

Strategy/ProductsAutomotive

Your partner for Smart Guidance and the Intelligent Car

The automotive industry is rapidly converging with the internet economy and urban transport systems. As cars get more intelligent every day, they are developing into an integral part of city infrastructure easing how people move about every day. To deliver on this promise car companies need powerful partners and are turning to HERE to deliver products and services rooted in its leading location cloud.

 

HERE creates connected navigation solutions for in-and beyond the car as well as an intelligent car platform for next generation highly automated vehicles.

 

As the location intelligence in cars grows, they will become a more seamless part of how people navigate today’s cities. HERE is connecting cars to local infrastructure such as traffic lights and parking spaces to help drivers save time and keep roads safer.

Intelligent Car

Technology is rapidly transforming the role of the automobile. Today the advent of Highly Automated Driving creates new opportunities for manufacturers and new experiences for drivers. HERE has spent 30 years creating location-based experiences, making us the perfect partner to help carmakers accelerate the next evolution of the automobile.

Growing in car sensor processing power will drive this evolution. Cars will use the explosion in sensor data so that they can move independently of their drivers. HERE’s location cloud aggregates and interprets sensor data across auto makers in order to enable cars to make sense of their environments. 

 

 

Our Intelligent Car offering relies on three integrated components – HERE HD Map, HERE Live Roads, HERE Humanised Driving - that together deliver the promise of self-driving cars.



HERE Traffic

HERE Traffic has been rigorously engineered to provide accurate time saving traffic information. Precision mapping and real-time big data combine with deep insights to create an up-to-the-minute traffic service. 

 

Intelligent

Our traffic engine is custom built for big data traffic, allowing sophisticated algorithms, fast throughput and massive scalability.  It is continuously optimized and improved to meet the evolving needs of hosting advanced routing technologies, analytics & predictive services.

 

 

Comprehensive

HERE Traffic is more comprehensive than ever, with services offered across 100% of the roads in the markets we serve. It’s built on our highly accurate map and enhanced by more than 100 incident sources – from national and regional traffic information hubs to road works data providers and our own traffic operations centre.

 

 

Proven

HERE Traffic meets the strict requirements of automotive-grade quality. We’ve invested heavily in independent testing methods – both automated and on the road – to give customers the rock-solid assurance they demand for their drivers.

Individual journeys guided by a world of knowledge

HERE collects billions of GPS data points every day and leverages over 100 different incident sources to provide a robust foundation for our services. We use information collected from a variety of devices across the globe including smart phones, PNDs, sensors and connected cars. Our traffic experts also monitor incidents such as accidents and construction as they happen, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

 

 

They apply extensive knowledge and experience to decipher a range of sources including police radio messages, Twitter posts and traffic camera feeds.

 

Once collected, we process the data through our industry leading traffic engine - continuously updating our data every 60 seconds. By combining all our sources and expertly analysing the data in our incident management centre we regularly capture events that other services overlook.

Globally significant. Locally relevant.

HERE Traffic serves four key markets, each one using our information and insight in different, but equally important ways.

 

Automotive

HERE Traffic has been supporting the world’s leading global automotive manufacturers for over 30 years with best in class innovation. In 2004, HERE Traffic was used in the first US in-car traffic service, while back in 1994, our map was used in Europe’s first in-car navigation system. Right now, we’re playing a significant role in the evolution of connected cars, allowing manufacturers to own the customer experience and ensuring they get more out of driving. Less time spent worrying about routes and arrival times means more time to enjoy the experience of driving and owning the car. 

 

Government

We work with national, state, and local government agencies to better inform drivers of changing conditions, create safer road conditions, and ensure people and goods move smoothly through road networks. Agencies use our data for traffic operations and performance management, including ‘before and after’ studies, trend spotting, construction planning and more.

 

Business

HERE Traffic is also widely used as a source of business intelligence.  From deciding where to launch new stores to identifying optimum opening hours and better management of delivery routes, we help power productivity.

 

Consumer

We work closely with the world’s biggest consumer brands, communication companies and software developers to help millions of drivers successfully plan, navigate and enjoy their daily route.
