Teaming up with the leading in-car navigation software developer to deliver live maps for automotive
By: Alex Barth
Our live location platform is now available as part of NNG’s navigation engine and UX Atlas application design studio. As one of the leading automotive navigation software developers, NNG is used in more than 30 car brands and 7 out of 10 car manufacturers around the world.
NNG will now incorporate our APIs and map data into their flagship navigation engine, currently live in 20 million vehicles worldwide. NNG’s integration teams will be available to Tier1 suppliers and automotive OEM’s to offer beautiful, turnkey, and customized in-car navigation.
This means NNG now offers our live maps, live traffic, POI search, information, and connected services to enhance the driver experience. The platform enables easy integration of custom third-party content through NNG’s partner network. Want to add weather? Pick a partner and drop it in. Curbside parking availability? You can select a feed and embed data seamlessly into the Mapbox map.
Together, we will also provide a customizable mobile companion app for end-to-end trip planning, remote control, and maintenance. When a driver exits the car, their navigation intelligently switches to walking navigation on their mobile device. NNG’s solution also includes a seamless fallback option for offline operations in cases where a connection is unavailable.
“We are really excited about this partnership with Mapbox, it will significantly add to our offering to OEM partners” — said Giles Shrimpton, CEO of NNG. “It’s fascinating to see, how traditional navigation is evolving into such a seamless and intelligent interaction, and how this partnership is a huge step in making it an everyday reality. We look forward to working together, and to discovering a new meaning for the navigation experience.”
In addition to NNG’s navigation engine, Mapbox is now standard in NNG’s UX Atlas design studio for digital cockpit development, giving your fully streamlined and customizable experiences from prototyping to production.
