HERE WeGo

Netherlands· Maps & Navigation

Needs review

Shortlist HERE WeGo when you want a free, offline-capable multi-modal navigation app from a Netherlands-based controller (HERE Global B.V.) as a Google Maps alternative for personal travel. Skip for commercial fleets under the free licence, or when you need EU-only hosting with no US-group cloud—HERE lists AWS/Azure including US regions. Consider open OSM clients when open data is mandatory; consider licensed HERE commercial products for fleet.

Needs review

Shortlist Mapy.com when you want a Czech-operated map/navigation product with strong outdoor and Central European layers, offline packs, and an optional map REST API—especially as a Google Maps alternative for CZ-centric consumer or light developer use. Skip when you need self-hosting, public enterprise ISO/SOC evidence, or a detailed published subprocessor register; consider komoot for sport-only outdoor planning or HERE WeGo for HERE-stack offline multi-modal navigation.

HERE WeGo

Offline map downloads and offline navigation
Download regional, country, or continental map packages and navigate without a live data connection. The WeGo privacy supplement states that pure offline use does not send Location Data to HERE—useful for roaming control, remote areas, or intentional isolation. Online mode is still required for live traffic, many map refreshes, and account sync.
Multi-modal and multi-stop journey planning
Plan car, bicycle, walking, and public-transport routes, including multi-stop itineraries you can reorder. Door-to-door guidance can include walking segments and remembered parking locations so ETA reflects the full trip, not only the driving leg.
Turn-by-turn guidance with road safety cues
Voice-guided navigation with multi-language prompts, lane assistance, speed-limit display and warnings, optional speed-camera alerts (coverage varies), rest-area suggestions, and dynamic ETA when traffic data is available online.
CarPlay and Android Auto integration
Use HERE WeGo on supported in-car displays via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so phone-based navigation can drive the vehicle UI without switching to Google or Apple as the only option.
Optional online traffic contribution and account sync
Traffic layers and the HERE Improvement Program are opt-in style controls described in the privacy supplement: you can limit contribution while using the app, run offline, or avoid signing in. Signing into a HERE account enables collection sync (name, email, date of birth collected at registration) and recent-search synchronisation.

Mapy.com

Multi-mode route planning with regional live traffic
Plan car, walk, bike (touring/MTB/road), ski, public transport (primarily CZ), and selected Czech water routes with elevation and itinerary detail. Car routing can use live traffic and closures in AT, HR, CZ, DE, HU, IT, PL, SK, and SI per help docs—confirm coverage for your corridor before field dependence.
Offline maps with offline search, plan, and navigate
Download country or regional packages (basic, outdoor, winter, traffic styles; aerial excluded). Free accounts keep one offline country at a time (switchable); Premium removes the country limit. Offline search/routing only works inside downloaded areas and needs a Seznam login for download management.
Outdoor, winter, aerial, and traffic map layers
Outdoor maps show contours, waymarked trails, and bike routes; winter maps cover slopes, lifts, and cross-country context; traffic layers show density and incidents where published; aerial includes detailed orthophotos and historical archives for CZ/SK and selected countries. CZ basemap is Seznam-edited; abroad primarily OSM-derived.
Web, mobile, CarPlay, and Android Auto clients
Use the same product family on the web portal and native Android/iOS apps, with CarPlay and Android Auto called out in official getting-started help. My Mapy syncs saved places, routes, GPX, and activities across devices when logged in.
Mapy.com REST API for tiles, geocode, and routing
Developer portal (developer.mapy.com) exposes map tiles, address search/autocomplete, route planning, matrix routing, elevation, static maps/panoramas, and time-zone helpers on a credit model with free monthly credits and optional paid overage after explicit enablement. Same infrastructure family as the public portal per Seznam API docs.
Premium outdoor planning extras
Mapy.com Premium (logged-in annual subscription) adds unlimited offline countries, PRO planner drawing, activity-specific planning modes, HorizontAR peak labels, smartwatch apps, custom speed settings, and priority support—while core free maps and basic offline one-country use remain available.

Assurance & compliance: HERE WeGo vs Mapy.com
Assurance & compliance	HERE WeGo	Mapy.com
Independent no-logs / navigation telemetry audit	Not found No public independent audit of WeGo consumer location telemetry found; privacy claims rest on policy text (offline mode, random identifiers).	Not found No public independent security or no-logs audit report found for Mapy.com
ISO 27001	Vendor claimed HERE certifications page asserts ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (and related 27017/27018) with Schellman certificate references. Confirm scope covers services you use.	Not found No public ISO 27001 certificate scoped to Mapy/Seznam maps product found in this pass
SOC 2 / SOC 3	Vendor claimed HERE states SOC 2 Type 2 for HERE Platform Foundation and Workspace—not clearly scoped to consumer WeGo alone.	Not found No public SOC 2/3 report found on primary Seznam/Mapy pages
GDPR / EU data protection	Vendor claimed EU controller HERE Global B.V.; GDPR programme and Type 1 attestation described on certifications page. Consumer rights and lawful bases detailed in WeGo privacy supplement.	Vendor claimed Czech EU controller Seznam.cz, a.s.; detailed privacy principles and DPO published
US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative)	Partial EU entity / no known single US parent, but AWS and Azure listed with United States processing locations; US SaaS subprocessors and Intel shareholding add US nexus. Offline use reduces device telemetry to HERE. Indicative only—not legal advice.	Partial EuropeanStack assessment: EU entity, no known US parent, Seznam-operated Czech DCs claimed—but third-country tech partners under SCCs may exist and no granular public subprocessor list. Not legal advice.
Data processing agreement (B2B)	Not found Consumer WeGo is under personal Service Terms; no public self-serve DPA for the free app located. Enterprise/platform customers should request HERE commercial DPA separately.	Not found No self-serve public B2B DPA package found for consumer Mapy; request via Seznam for API/business use
EU AI Act	Not applicable Consumer navigation app; HERE separately markets ISO/IEC 42001 for corporate AI management—not treated as AI-system primary product here.	Not applicable Maps/navigation product; not marketed as an AI system for this evaluation
TISAX (automotive)	Vendor claimed HERE claims TISAX AL3 assessment (Scope ID S0H13Y) on certifications page—relevant for automotive supply-chain trust more than consumer app downloaders.	Niet vermeld

Considerations & known limitations: HERE WeGo vs Mapy.com
Considerations & known limitations	HERE WeGo	Mapy.com
US-region cloud and US SaaS subprocessors	Medium Public subprocessor list includes AWS and Azure with United States locations, plus ServiceNow and MailChimp in the US. WeGo also discloses Amplitude analytics. Organisations with strict no-US-processor policies need offline-only personal use or a different product.	Niet vermeld
Multi-national shareholder structure including Intel	Medium Dutch HQ and controller do not equal simple single-EU ownership. Intel and other non-EU shareholders appear in HERE’s public shareholder narrative; validate ownership for sovereignty-sensitive procurement.	Niet vermeld
Consumer licence excludes commercial use	High Service Terms restrict the free app to private, non-commercial purposes. Using WeGo as unpaid fleet navigation may violate licence—budget for commercial HERE products instead.	Niet vermeld
Online advertising and analytics when connected	Medium Privacy supplement describes cookies/SDKs, Amplitude product analytics, location-based advertising, and advertising IDs when online features and consent apply—materially different from offline-only sessions.	Niet vermeld
Enterprise certs may not equal WeGo consumer scope	Low ISO/SOC/TISAX claims are strong at company/platform level; still confirm which systems and data flows are in scope before relying on them for consumer-app risk acceptance.	Niet vermeld
Limited public security certification package	Niet vermeld	Medium No public ISO 27001/SOC 2 or independent audit PDF found for Mapy. Security/procurement teams must use questionnaires and contracts rather than downloadable attestations.
No public Mapy subprocessor inventory	Niet vermeld	Medium Seznam claims own/operated DCs and mentions third-country partners under SCCs without listing Mapy subprocessors. High-assurance buyers cannot verify all data paths from public pages alone.
Free offline limited to one country	Niet vermeld	Low Multi-country offline travel on free tier requires switching the single free country or Premium. Plan downloads before trips with weak connectivity.
Public transport planning primarily CZ	Niet vermeld	Low Help docs position public-transport planning as primarily Czech Republic for now—do not assume multi-country PT parity with Google.
Seznam account and optional Big Tech login	Niet vermeld	Low Offline management and Premium need Seznam login; app/store materials mention Google/Apple/Microsoft sign-in options that can expand third-party identity processing.

Geschiktheid

HERE WeGo

Best fit when

Individuals who need reliable offline map packages and turn-by-turn guidance abroad or offline
Users seeking a non-Google navigation client with multi-modal and multi-stop planning
Drivers who want CarPlay or Android Auto without defaulting only to Google/Apple maps
Privacy-minded personal use where offline mode and optional traffic contribution matter
Tech leads recommending a consumer/BYOD European-entity map app with clear personal-use licence

Poor fit when

Commercial fleet, logistics, or paid-driver use under the free consumer Service Terms
Buyers requiring contractual EU-only processing with no AWS/Azure or US SaaS subprocessors
Teams that need fully open-source map software and OSM-only data
Enterprises that need a negotiated DPA and SOC report scoped specifically to WeGo consumer telemetry without further vendor engagement

Consider instead when

When: You need dense local POI social data and default ecosystem integration on Android
Consider: Google Maps
WeGo trades some ecosystem lock-in and POI social layer for offline packages and a non-Google operator.
When: You require open-source offline maps with no commercial map vendor
Consider: OpenStreetMap-based clients (e.g. Organic Maps or similar peers when shortlisted)
OSM clients avoid HERE licensing and analytics paths but differ on traffic, POI freshness, and car integrations.
When: You need licensed fleet navigation, compliance tooling, or embeddable maps
Consider: HERE commercial platform / WeGo Pro-class products (via HERE sales)
Do not rely on free WeGo personal-use terms for commercial deployments.

Mapy.com

Best fit when

Hikers, cyclists, and travellers who want outdoor/winter cartography plus offline country packs
Drivers needing car navigation with published live traffic coverage in listed Central European countries
Teams preferring a Czech legal entity (Seznam.cz, a.s.) over Google Maps for consumer or light B2B map UX
Developers embedding tiles, geocoding, or routing via Mapy REST API with free credits for smaller traffic
Users who want one app spanning web, mobile, CarPlay/Android Auto, and My Mapy sync

Poor fit when

Requirements for self-hosted map servers or fully open-source client+server stacks
Procurement that mandates public ISO 27001/SOC 2 or a published full subprocessor list before shortlist
Global fleet/commercial navigation needing OEM-grade contracts beyond freemium consumer terms
Use cases that depend on Google-class POI social graph and ecosystem defaults outside Mapy’s strengths

Consider instead when

When: You primarily need sport-specific trail planning with bike-computer/e-bike sync ecosystems
Consider: komoot
komoot is outdoor-first; Mapy is broader (car/PT/API) with Seznam CZ ops
When: You want HERE commercial map stack offline multi-modal navigation under a Dutch controller
Consider: HERE WeGo
WeGo publishes AWS/Azure subprocessors; different ownership and assurance packaging
When: You need maximum global POI density, default OS integration, or Google ecosystem lock-in
Consider: Google Maps
US operator; stronger everyday urban/search network effects in many markets

Open questions for due diligence

HERE WeGo

For enterprise evaluation, will HERE provide a DPA and current subprocessor list scoped to WeGo consumer telemetry (vs Platform only)?
Which exact AWS/Azure regions process WeGo end-user location and account data for EU residents today?
What is the current beneficial ownership percentage split (German automakers vs Intel vs others) for board-control analysis?
Is HERE WeGo Pro or another commercial SKU the correct licensed path for fleet use in your market?
Are location-based ads and Amplitude collection fully disabled in all offline and privacy settings paths on current iOS/Android builds?

Mapy.com

Will Seznam sign a B2B DPA and share a current subprocessor list for Mapy/API workloads?
Are any ISO 27001/SOC reports available under NDA covering the maps/API stack?
