Our Story
2004
NNG was founded by two Israeli businessmen and several Hungarian technical professionals. Their goal was modest: to make navigation easy and fun to use.
2006-2008
We shocked the navigation industry as a startup when we introduced our iGO Navigation software at CeBIT in Hannover, which contained full Europe coverage on a 1 GB SD card. This was a truly game changing moment – for us, and the industry. We entered the PND and smartphone market, somewhat wild-eyed and out of place; but we continued to innovate and later introduced the industry’s first 3D navigation.
2009-2010
We recognized that in-dash navigation was a service available almost exclusively as a luxury feature in higher end vehicles. But we thought that navigation should be available in every car segment and in every market. With this in mind, we adopted our “Navigation for All” strategy and entered the automotive industry with the goal of outfitting every car around the world, from entry level cars to hypercars.
Present
We work together with numerous Tier1s and OEMs to improve the core driving experience and in-car connectivity. Maximizing the potential of the car-phone-human ecosystem is our key focus. Our solutions are currently used in more than 30 car brands, and we have partnerships with 7 out of the top 10 car manufacturers around the world.
Future
We are developing the future of HMI and automotive infotainment technologies, from ideation to implementation and through the lifecycle of the vehicle.
We're Responsible
We care, and this is what makes us better. We live by our mission in the business world and in the real world. We have partnered with numerous volunteer and NGO programs to help people in need, and we are proud to mention that, so far, NNG employees have donated enough blood to save the lives of more than 10,000 people.
We are also dedicated to educating the next generation of programmers. We especially encourage young girls to choose a career in programming to help close the gender gap in IT.
