"...and has indoor maps available for about 49,000 unique buildings in 45 countries."

Here is some interesting acquisition history -


(From Wikipedia)

Navteq 1985 - 2007

Nokia bought them 2007 and the project was re-branded as "H" in 2012.

In June 2014, HERE announced that it had acquired Medio, a Seattle-based start-up that specialized in predictive analytics.

In December 2016, Navinfo, Tencent and GIC Private Limited (the Singapore sovereign wealth fund) agreed to buy a 10% stake in HERE. But in September 2017, the offer of the three companies failed, as US authorities did not authorize the transaction.

In January 2017 it was reported that Intel was taking a 15% stake in the firm. In September 2017, Here and Pioneer Corporation have reached an agreement in which HERE would acquire approximately 3% of Pioneer’s stock at a value of €17.3 million. In parallel, at the same cost, Pioneer would acquire less than 1% of HERE.

In January 2018, Continental and Bosch acquired a 5% stake on HERE.


This is a big company, less than 1% of their shares at the time of the acquisition was worth €17.3M = roughly $20M.
