News from the exciting world of navigation

Dear customers and partners,

before 2016 is over, we would like to share some of our highlights from the recent weeks with you.

A major issue and unfortunately always in the news: rear-end collisions in traffic jams that sometimes have disastrous consequences. Our new traffic jam warning is designed to make the roads safer for all of us.

Another hot topic in the industry that engages us is autonomous driving. Finally, there is the good news that our infoware continues to grow.

We say THANK YOU – for your trust, your loyalty and for a lot of exciting projects. We are looking forward to meeting new challenges with you in 2017.

Have a wonderful Christmas time, enjoy the holidays and have a great start into the New Year!

Your infoware team
