TomTom Cuts 300 Jobs in AI Pivot
Analysts predict more location companies will follow with AI-driven layoffs...
Dutch navigation specialist TomTom recently announced plans to eliminate 300 jobs—nearly 10 percent of its global workforce—as part of a strategic realignment aimed at accelerating its shift toward artificial intelligence (AI) and more product-focused development. The cuts, affecting staff in application-layer development, sales and support, reflect the company’s effort to modernize its mapping platform and deliver AI-enhanced offerings such as TomTom Orbis Maps.
TomTom CEO Harold Goddijn said, “With a modernized technology stack, we are becoming a truly product‑led company,” reinforcing a strategy to shorten implementation cycles and boost end-user experience through AI integration.
The layoffs will allow the company to reallocate resources to its AI-driven location and navigation technologies—an essential move given shrinking demand for standalone GPS devices in favor of smartphone-integrated mapping apps. The timing reflects a broader industry trend among digital-mapping providers and GPS-centric firms facing pressure from smartphone navigation services like Google Maps. According to Autoevolution, TomTom itself cited its “big bet on artificial intelligence” as a key driver behind job reductions. In parallel, competitor firms have similarly downsized to direct investment into machine-learning systems and cloud-based mapping platforms.
The trend highlights how automation and intelligent systems are reshaping location services, reducing demand for legacy development processes and traditional support staff.
The company, after taking significant losses in 2024, had an encouraging start to 2025 with growing revenues and strategic progress in the first quarter. However, TomTom forecasts revenue decline from €574 million in 2024 to between €505 million and €565 million in 2025, underscoring urgency in streamlining operations and reorienting toward scalable, AI-enhanced products.
NextBillion.ai and TomTom Partner
In other company news, TomTom has partnered with NextBillion.ai to provide mapping capabilities through its Orbis Maps platform for global clients. These include adding mapping capability for logistics, delivery, mobility and transportation sectors, the company said.
NextBillion.ai said Orbis Maps’ scalability and speed, which TomTom hopes will be an alternative to mapping solutions from Google GOOG 0.00%↑ and Apple AAPL 0.00%↑, allows it to meet rising demand for tailored location services in expanding markets across North America, India, and Southeast Asia.

Xona Secures $92 Million to Launch “Unhackable” LEO Navigation Constellation
Xona Space Systems recently announced a $92 million Series B funding round to support the launch and expansion of its Pulsar low‑Earth orbit position, navigation and timing (PNT) satellite constellation. The round, led by Craft Ventures with participation from Stellar Ventures, Seraphim Ventures, Toyota Ventures and SpaceWERX, brings Xona’s total funding to more than $150 million.
Xona, which hopes to offer an “unhackable” alternative to GPS, will deploy hundreds of Pulsar satellites in LEO. The satellites, 326 miles above the planet, will operate 40 times closer than conventional GPS satellites. The company says this close proximity produces signals that are roughly 100 times stronger, making them more resistant to jamming, interference and spoofing, while delivering centimeter-level accuracy.
The company recently launched Pulsar-0, which broadcast a range-authenticated navigation signal from space on Monday. "Navigation and timing are invisible infrastructure—critical to everything from aviation and shipping to agriculture, finance, and autonomous systems," said Brian Manning, Xona’s co-founder and CEO, in a statement. "As we scale, we're building a new layer of infrastructure to power the next generation of progress."
The company said the new capital will fuel increased manufacturing capacity and team expansion it transitions to large-scale deployment. The company also believes that early adapters will include companies in the agriculture, logistics, robotics, defense and autonomous transportation sectors.
The round also included a $20 million non-dilutive Strategic Funding Increase award from the U.S. Space Force’s SpaceWERX initiative.
Trimble, KT Partner to Launch Centimeter-Level Positioning in South Korea
Trimble TRMB 0.00%↑ and KT Corporation announced Tuesday they will jointly offer bundled telecom and high-precision positioning services in South Korea, integrating Trimble’s RTX Fast correction network with KT’s communications infrastructure. The packaged solution is aimed at the automotive, IoT, smart-city, and robotics markets by delivering real-time centimeter-level GNSS accuracy over KT’s wired and wireless platforms, the companies say.
Trimble’s RTX Fast, which covers more than seven million square miles in North America and Europe, will now be available across urban centers, rural regions, and remote islands in South Korea. "With an existing footprint in North America and Europe, we are building on our strategy to extend RTX Fast to other regions around the world,” said Olivier Casabianca, Trimble’s vice president, advanced positioning, in a statement.
Wontae Kim, head of KT’s strategic customer business, said the collaboration will allow companies to “easily use, test and validate their automotive and IoT systems” under local conditions.
South Korea already has a precision positioning service in Swift Navigation’s Skylark via SK Telecom, which launched last year. Swift’s Skylark, which also delivers centimeter-grade corrections nationwide, touts the service as one that delivers lane-level accuracy for autonomous vehicles.
The service, which will be marketed to OEMs and IoT companies in the country, will allow entities to offer positioning and correction services for vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) or vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities, the companies say. Trimble and KT expect early deployments to be with not only automotive OEMs and utilities, but drone operators later this year.

U.S. States Turn to GPS-Based Speed-Limiting Tech as Europe and Digital Maps Push Ahead
A wave of new state-level initiatives is driving the adoption of GPS-enabled speed-limiting technology, placing the U.S. on a parallel path with European regulations that require automakers to curb dangerous driving through intelligent speed assistance (ISA). Recent laws in Washington and Virginia mandate the use of speed-governing devices for certain drivers, joining New York City’s aggressive measures to curb reckless speeding on urban roads.
In Washington, Gov. Bob Ferguson signed House Bill 1596—known as the BEAM Act—into law this year. Starting in 2029, drivers who have lost their licenses due to reckless driving or excessive speeding must install a speed-limiting device in their vehicles to regain driving privileges. The system uses GPS technology to monitor vehicle speed and compare it to posted limits. “What’s behind this bill is a really simple goal, which is to save lives,” Ferguson said in published reports.
Virginia, too, has passed a similar mandate that takes effect in July 2026. Both states are among the first in the U.S. to legally require GPS-linked governors that physically prevent repeat offenders from exceeding speed limits. The technology reflects a broader trend in traffic enforcement that is less reliant on punitive fines—which often disproportionately affect low-income drivers—and more focused on physical enforcement mechanisms.
These U.S. efforts mirror Europe’s push for widespread adoption of ISA systems, which became mandatory for new vehicle models sold in the European Union starting in July 2022. The systems use a combination of GPS data and digital mapping—provided by tech firms like TomTom, Mapbox and HERE Technologies—to automatically limit vehicle speed. The regulatory shift in Europe has had ripple effects across the global digital mapping industry, spurring demand for more accurate, real-time road data that can inform automated vehicle behavior.
However, not all U.S. states are embracing the shift. California, despite its progressive reputation in environmental and traffic safety policy, rejected similar ISA-related legislation in 2023. Critics in the state cited concerns over personal freedom, enforcement costs, and questions around data privacy. That decision puts California at odds with not only Europe but also with emerging American norms in places like New York, Washington, and Virginia.
Still, experts say that GPS-based speed controls represent the next evolution in traffic enforcement—and the legal frameworks unfolding in U.S. states are likely to shape the future of connected vehicle technology. With cities like New York planning to drop speed limits to 20 mph by 2025 and investing heavily in automated camera systems, the growing intersection between legislation, digital infrastructure, and public safety may eventually set a new standard nationwide.
