History
The Hungarian company was founded in 2004, and introduced its first international software called iGO My way 2006 at the CeBIT trade fair in Hanover, Germany in March 2006.[2] Thanks to the breakthrough map compression technology the fast and feature-rich product already then fitted on a 1GB SD-card. At CeBIT 2008 the company unveiled the industry’s first real 3D visualization software (Nav N Go iGO 8).[3] iGO amigo, the intuitive and easy-to-learn software was introduced at CeBIT 2009 for first-time navigation users.[4] Later in 2009 iGO My way for Mobile was launched, running on the most popular mobile platforms including iPhone.[5] At CeBIT 2010 iGO primo was introduced, the company’s new premium navigation solution which combines years of experience from working with navigation partners worldwide.[6][7] In December 2010 the company was renamed from Nav N Go Kft. to NNG Kft.[8]
