NNG and Dacia Offer Drivers OSM-Based Maps for Navigation
OpenStreetMap is the largest crowdsourced repository of human geospatial knowledge in the world. Built by a global community of contributors that keep data about map features, including roads, trails, cafés, and railway stations, continuously updated. Contributors use aerial imagery, GPS devices, and field maps, alongside other sources, to verify that OSM is accurate and up-to-the-minute.
The solution from NNG starts with an OSM base-layer and allows automakers to tailor their map to brand and customer preferences using a broad, independent portfolio of additional content and services. Leveraging two decades of map compilation and validation expertise, NNG offers automakers bespoke map solutions that are more feature-rich, have greater freshness, and are more frequently updated. The new solution has proven to be a much-needed development for drivers, with thousands already registered across Europe , including France , Germany , and the Netherlands .
The benefits of NNG Maps come in part from the unique, community-driven nature of OSM, but also from NNG's decades of compilation expertise and its unique understanding of automakers navigation-specific needs. The map solution guarantees not only accurate and up-to-date information for Dacia drivers and other automakers but also unparalleled coverage and expansion capabilities. With NNG Maps, users can explore the world confidently, knowing that their navigation needs are served by the combination of OSM's community-driven data and NNG's navigation expertise.

NNG Maps is available now for Europe with further regional expansion planned from 2025 onwards.
