The initiative, announced last June, aimed to support the developer community of domestic map and navigation applications. Applications were collected throughout 2025; the process was completed with evaluations, and the agreement was signed between the parties in March with the participation of Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacır. The project is approached within the context of four main objectives..
Stakeholder Togg is making its self-developed navigation system available from day one and is not sharing user data with anyone, domestic or foreign. The new domestic navigation system is expected to leverage existing experience and knowledge. Once completed and integrated into daily life, the system will be used in areas such as mobile devices, vehicles, logistics, smart city applications, e-commerce, tourism, and emergency management.
Strategic objectives, Protecting the privacy of Turkish citizens. It begins with... Today, many citizens use foreign navigation solutions; this results in location, movement, and time information being instantly transmitted to international actors. Local solutions are being implemented to change this situation..
Safe communication in emergency and conflict situations. This concern has once again highlighted the importance of an independent navigation infrastructure. The goal is to use a domestic system to prevent external interference or logistical disruptions. This will make it possible to protect critical data from external influences.
Another goal, information should not be sold for commercial purposesMany applications appear free, but user data is processed for advertising and navigation purposes. The aim of the local navigation system is to prevent citizens from being exposed to such global commercial models.
Finally, to reduce import dependence and increase export capacity The goal is to reduce dependence on foreign solutions for professional and commercial uses, and to promote the global adoption of domestic solutions. Within the framework of the National Technology Initiative, Başarsoft, BVB, and Togg are joining forces under the coordination of the ministry. An AI-powered approach is envisioned, with deployment expected in the short term.
The broad scope of integration into daily life.This system is now manifesting itself in devices such as phones, cars, and smartwatches. It activates automatically even from the moment the user first interacts with the vehicle, reducing the need for maps and road signs. Thanks to AI integration, traffic congestion and waiting times on the road are analyzed more effectively, improving time management.
