AutoNavi is a Chinese company

AutoNavi is a provider of digital map content, navigation and location service solutions. Since its inception in 2002, through unremitting efforts and arduous exploration, it has accumulated solid technology and built high barriers in the map industry. The company has become an industry leader while achieving significant development in various businesses. In addition to map navigation, AutoNavi Map also provides users with one-stop travel services such as taxis, hotels, and tickets, saving users more than 1.93 billion hours of travel time each year and providing location services for more than 300,000 mobile applications.

In 2010, AutoNavi proposed a strategy to transform to the mobile Internet. Relying on its leading position in the car navigation market, it continued to innovate in products, services and business models, and quickly built a "map cloud service" platform that supports a large number of users of various products and services, and strived to realize the "mobile life location service portal" strategy based on the "four screens and one cloud" business architecture.

In May 2013, AutoNavi received a $294 million investment from Alibaba, and the two parties reached a strategic cooperation agreement.

In April 2014, AutoNavi officially reached a merger agreement with Alibaba Group.

On May 13, 2021, Alibaba’s fourth quarter and full-year financial report for fiscal year 2021 disclosed that in April 2021, AutoNavi achieved an important milestone of more than 100 million daily active users for the entire month, ranking first in the map navigation industry.
