It’s not easy creating a category – being the first to come up with a new solution to an old problem. Turns out it can be even more difficult climbing out from the shadow that legacy casts. We appreciate why when people think TomTom, they think navigation. Our first device was one of the fastest-selling consumer technology products in history, putting us front and center of millions of road trips, visits to grandma’s, showing up to life’s important moments on time. Not only did we put personal navigation on the map, we made the map personal navigation is built on. That’s why we’re confident we’ll change the game again as the first mapmaker to map the world in real time. Our customers – and their customers – have always been at the heart of everything we do. It’s how TomTom became synonymous with navigation. And it's how we’re spurring partner innovation, reducing friction for developers and helping users make smarter decisions. We don’t just make products for our partners; we make them with our partners. Our maps solve problems, big and small. So does the team that makes them, working with each customer in the way works best for their business. Together, we are a 3,800+ strong team of talented, diverse individuals that make the mapping and location technologies relied upon by developers, drivers, businesses and governments around the world.
