About TomTom
TomTom N.V. is a Dutch multinational developer and creator of location technology and consumer electronics. Headquartered in Amsterdam, the company has evolved from a pioneer in personal navigation devices into a leading global provider of mapmaking technology and real-time traffic intelligence. Its platform powers the navigation systems of major automotive brands, fleet management solutions, and a wide array of location-based mobile applications. The company is currently focused on its 'Orbis' map platform, which emphasizes an open, collaborative approach to map data, integrating various sources to ensure high frequency and accuracy. As an independent European entity, TomTom serves as a critical strategic alternative to US-based mapping ecosystems. Its data network processes billions of kilometers of GPS traces daily to provide hyper-accurate traffic and routing services for both the private and public sectors.
