GeoSmart (NZ) Ltd is a provider of location-based services, digital mapping data and images for the Oceania area, notably
Companies such as TomTom and Navman, use mapping data from GeoSmart on their popular handheld GPS devices,[3][4] as do motor manufacturers such as BMW.[5] The company also provides mapping data via web services, with applications such as a website that allows users to send custom invitations that include mapping directions for guests [6] as well as providing the mapping interface on New Zealand Automobile Association website.[7]
In 2008, GeoSmart launched the RAPIDcV mapping car, which is an ongoing program to redrive all of New Zealand. This is to enhance the car navigation database used by brands including Navman, TomTom, Nav N Go, Siemens VDO and Horizon.[
