AND Automotive Navigation Data (AND) is one of the few companies in the world supplying digital map data for GPS-based applications. After the take over of Navteq by Nokia and Tele Atlas by TomTom, AND is the last independent supplier of digital maps.

Next to street level maps of Western Europe AND also offers a routable world base map and a geocoder map for the USA. Besides maps for GPS-based applications the company offers maps for Geographic information system, Internet mapping, route planning, time-distance calculations and optimization studies.

History


AND was founded in 1984 by Hans Abbink and Eiko Dekkers. The chamber of commerce advised to use the 'n' to connect the first letter of the surnames of the founders to create the company name: AND. The A, Hans Abbink, stepped down as member of the board of directors of AND in September 2000. Throughout the years the company had many subsidiary names such as AND International Publishers NV, AND Data Solutions, AND Publishes, etc. The current trade name is AND Automotive Navigation Data and the company is listed using the name AND International Publishers.


AND International Publishers plc - an international electronic publishing group with registered office in Oxford, United Kingdom and headquarters in Rotterdam, the Netherlands- obtained an AIM listing on 30 July 1996, and an Amsterdam Exchanges listing on 12 December 1996. On 10 November 1997 the companies announced its intention to become a Dutch Public company. The listing on AIM was terminated in 1998 to be listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange. AND International Publishers N.V. shares started trading on 15 May 1998.
