Offline car navigation from the Netherlands

NetherlandsEU Global public ownership

Scope verdict

Global public ownership

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

TomTom GO Navigation is the navigation app from the Dutch company TomTom, for driving and walking. It uses offline maps held on the device, so guidance keeps working when there is no mobile signal and no map data has to be downloaded while you drive.

TomTom works from the Netherlands, which makes the app a European alternative to the US navigation services that come preinstalled on most phones. It suits drivers who travel through areas with patchy coverage or who would rather not keep a data connection open.

Pricing

The app costs around USD 24.99 per year on iOS, and it can be tried free of charge for 30 days.

Data and operations

Public website

Akamai

Non-European provider
Observed
A 2.16.6.133, 2.16.6.162 · CNAME www.tomtom.com.edgekey.net · AS20940

Why this matters

Public DNS routes website visits through Akamai. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.

Incoming business email

Microsoft 365

Non-European provider
Observed
MX 10 tomtom-com.mail.protection.outlook.com

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Microsoft 365. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
