We make mobility and POI data accessible - for about 25 years

For better decisions. For more efficient processes. For sustainable mobility.

Our motivation

Data is everywhere—but its value only becomes apparent when it is understood, contextualized, and used correctly.

This is exactly where Map and Route comes in. For over two decades, we have been helping companies, public institutions, and research partners turn geographic, mobility, and POI data into real added value—from analysis and visualization to integration into operational systems.

We don’t believe in data for data’s sake. We believe in data as a basis for decision-making.

What we do

Map and Route specializes in:

Geospatial, POI, and mobility data
Digital map and navigation solutions
Data integration into existing software environments
Analysis, visualization, and enrichment of complex datasets

Our solutions are used wherever standard approaches fall short—such as in logistics, energy supply, public administration, mobility, or research.

How we work

We take an interdisciplinary, practical, and collaborative approach.

Our team brings together expertise in:

Data Analysis & Data Engineering
Geoinformatics
Cartography & Visualization (e.g., through custom map solutions with proprietary POIs)
Software Integration (e.g., into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or navigation solutions)
Mobility, Logistics, and Infrastructure

We don’t think in terms of isolated products, but in terms of use cases.

Not in terms of features, but in terms of solutions.

Strong Partnerships

Complex data, mapping, and navigation solutions aren’t developed in isolation. That’s why Map and Route relies on long-term, strategic partnerships with leading technology providers and strong networks.

As a certified reseller and integration partner, we work with HERE Maps, one of the world’s leading platforms for digital maps, routing, and location services. This partnership enables highly accurate, scalable mapping and navigation solutions—ranging from fleet and logistics applications to smart city and automotive use cases

We have a close partnership with infoware, the developer of the MapTrip navigation solution, in the field of professional navigation. Together, we deliver industry-specific navigation solutions for truck fleets, technical field service teams, and logistics and emergency response organizations.

We partner with Content Intelligence Services (CIS) for marketing and customer support. CIS is known for its in-depth, personalized customer support and its excellent networks in industry, logistics, and the public sector. This partnership ensures that complex solutions are not only technically sound but also firmly established in the market over the long term.

In addition, we collaborate with companies across a wide range of industries whose core business is not data trading, but which generate valuable data as part of their day-to-day operations. Map and Route helps these partners structure, anonymize, and strategically monetize their data in compliance with legal requirements. This results in a high-quality, exclusive data offering that effectively complements traditional market data and enables new data-driven use cases.

Involvement in professional committees and networks

In addition to operational client projects, Map and Route is actively involved in professional committees and expert networks to help shape developments in mobility, logistics, and data-driven business models.

A brief look back - and ahead

Map and Route was founded in 2000 and is now one of Germany’s leading specialists in geographic, mobility, and POI data. Since then, we have continuously evolved—from traditional navigation and visualization projects to becoming an expert in POI and mobility data as well as specialized mapping and navigation solutions.

Today, we work on innovative routing and logistics solutions, data-driven applications for businesses and public institutions, as well as funded projects in the mobility and infrastructure sectors.

We are convinced that the full potential of mobility and POI data is far from being fully realized.
