HERE WeGo
Navigation and mapping from HERE Technologies, headquartered in Amsterdam. Offline maps, transit routing, and no Google tracking.
Quick facts
Offline maps and transit routing work well across Europe, and turn-by-turn navigation doesn't require a live data connection the way Google Maps does.
The app's search and points-of-interest data feel thinner than Google Maps outside major cities, and update frequency for transit schedules can lag in smaller towns.
Why does it score 78?
Incorporated in Amsterdam, Netherlands – a full EU member state.
Owned by a consortium of European automakers plus Intel, so it answers to a corporate parent rather than standing independently.
HERE runs its own mapping infrastructure across the Netherlands and Germany rather than a third-party cloud.
GDPR-compliant, but the platform isn't open source and there's no independently published security audit on record.
