“Connected” navigation system that seamlessly assists you when you go out
naviAZ is a navigation software brand that accounts for 15% of the
Japanese car navigation market share.
The name naviAZ
refers to our desire to optimize navigation for ALL activities, expressed by the first and the last
letters of the alphabet, "A" and "Z.”
naviAZ is a reliable
navigator that always delivers the latest information by virtue of its being “connected.”
naviAZ has continued to grow in order to meet the needs of our
customers.
Its mobile phone synchronization feature, for
example, allows users to keep receiving information even after they’ve stepped out of the car.
Other useful features include differential updating of maps
and voice recognition, which have now become standard, as well as multilingual support, which allows you
to switch to different languages, an essential feature for commercial enterprises.
We are determined to be your navigation service of choice,
offering you what you didn’t know you needed.
naviAZ’s 2 selling points
naviAZ, the perfect navigator
for all forms of mobility
The use of naviAZ is not limited to car navigation systems.
Major manufacturers in Japan and overseas have adopted it for a variety of different mobility
scenarios: walking, cycling, motorbiking, boating, and more.
The secret lies in the modularization of each feature.
By selecting and combining only the necessary features from modules like road traffic
information (VICS), route finding, map display, search, maps, guidance, map matching, location, and so
on, we can provide optimized services for each situation as well as hybrid services that combine all
of the above.
In the future, we plan to release services that can run not only on our platform but on PC browsers
too.
naviAZ makes for a freer and richer navigation experience.
A navigation system that seamlessly “connects” with the latest information at any time
naviAZ is constantly receiving the latest information
from the server.
This allows users to always
receive highly up-to-date information.
We have set
up a system that ensures you’ll have the best time on your outings by automatically updating every
month the latest map information and providing information on new POIs (Points of Interest:
specific points on the map like names of establishments).
naviAZ is a navigation service that delivers exactly
the navigation experience you want.

The navigation software independently developed by
micware has become one of our flagship products, selling over 8 million units in total.
We intend to continue developing ever-more-evolved
systems that allow people to drive with absolute peace of mind, and we believe that these systems
will also play a significant part in self-driving cars.
We’ve also launched the “Beyond Connect Project” for
deploying the technologies we have so far developed beyond navigation systems, aiming to build
systems that welcome people around the world to better living.
