Here and Uber collaborate to drive precise mapping
Here Technologies named by Uber as a global location provider focused on bringing further advanced location-aware tools and functions to the Uber platform.
Location data and technology platform Here Technologies has been selected by Uber to help drive precise mapping and geolocation functionalities to improve pick-up and drop-off locations.
The long-term collaboration to enhance Uber’s mapping capabilities builds on Here and Uber’s existing partnership and will help bring further advanced location-aware tools and functions to the Uber platform.
More accurate drop-off and pick-up points
With millions of rides a day, this means Here will work together with Uber to provide safe and more accurate drop-off and pick-up points at locations, including airports, stadiums, arenas and high-traffic areas globally. The renewed partnership also makes Here Technologies one of Uber’s preferred location providers.
“The mapping capability is key to creating a fast and intuitive experience for on-demand mobility and delivery solutions,” said Ajay Dalvi, senior director of business development at Uber.
“Ultimately, it’s all about ensuring end-users, from drivers to couriers to consumers, have the best possible experience when they’re using the Uber apps. In a fast moving world, Uber’s partnership with Here helps enable Uber to remain a leader in this space with heightened fresh and accurate data, and we’re excited to continue building with them.”
