Our maps impact everyone, everywhere. They connect customers to businesses, businesses to suppliers. They give shape to cities, give rise to ride-hail services, optimize humanitarian efforts, help carmakers embrace electrification, accelerate app development – and much, much more. Introducing TomTom Orbis Maps. Built on a global standard that we co-created with big tech, these maps are richer, faster, fresher and more accurate than ever before. And yet, it’s more than a map: Orbis is changing the way the world moves. It's a springboard for innovation, a platform for ideas that will shape the future in a way we can't imagine today. Although our team of 3,300 TomTom'ers is made up of people from around the world, we’re all connected by the same core values: we embrace openness, collaboration and integrity; we prioritize our customers’ challenges; and we believe that better maps lead to a better world. It’s thanks to these values that so many brilliant, passionate people — and the world’s biggest brands — choose to work and grow with TomTom. From redefining personal navigation with one of the fastest-selling consumer products in history to making the world’s first interoperable map, TomTom’s come a long way in 30 years.
