Our Vision
To be a leader in global mapping,providing premium map services and products while serving humanity and the environment for the well being of earth.
Company History
Zenrin Co., Ltd. was founded in 1948 in Beppu, Oita Prefecture as a publisher of tourist maps.
From there, we began to produce precise residential maps,
which proved a big hit due to the less-than-standard address system found in Japan.
Our current residential maps cover 99% of Japan's cities, towns and villages.
In 1984 Zenrin developed an original,
computer-based mapping system in order to provide high-quality information for general public use.
Using this technology, we have successfully compiled a cartographic database of Japan's major cities.
This database is widely used in the GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software used by many corporations and municipalities.
Zenrin is also expanding its opportunities overseas by using original computerized mapping technology and know-how.
In the People's Republic of China, Zenrin has opened cartographic data processing offices in Shanghai and Shenzhen.
In Europe, the US, and Taiwan, Zenrin already produces in-car navigation software, and this technology is being used with highly popular in-car navigation systems.
In the coming years we envision compiling cartographic databases that cover not only Japan but also other nations.
The largest mapmaker in Japan, Zenrin, is now emerging as the leading global mapping company of the future.
In the US, Zenrin provides navigation software and expertise to Nissan North America and other automobile or navigation systems hardware manufacturers.
Zenrin is also continuing to explore collaborative efforts with other electronic and auto manufacturers.
Zenrin also surveys businesses along America's interstate corridors to integrate into their navigation software.
Businesses, organizations, and travelers nationwide utilize this data in a variety of applications and settings.
In April 2000, Zenrin's US branches were incorporated under the name ZENRIN USA, Inc.
The name Zenrin means 'good neighbor.' Zenrin's mission is to be a leader in global mapping,
providing premium map services and products while serving humanity and the environment for the well being of earth.
Zenrin USA
Zenrin USA incorporated in April 2000, with its headquarters in San Bruno, California, conveniently located near Silicon Valley. Field research crews collect data throughout the United States are based out of the headquarters office.
In-Car Navigation: Software and Database Formatting
Zenrin is expanding on the record it has established in Japan. In the US, Zenrin continues to provide innovative formatting and compilation of databases and software for the in-vehicle navigation market. Zenrin works with OEM automobile manufacturers and after-market hardware makers to create data solutions that meet their needs. Nissan North America has utilized Zenrin navigation software for its Nissan and Infiniti line models since the year 2000.
Field Research and Data Verification
Zenrin's experienced field teams collect and verify data on an ongoing basis. Field teams use differential GPS (Global Positioning System) units to map roadways and collect information that is necessary for navigation. Additionally, the field staff updates business and point of interest (POI) information so that it remains fresh and relevant to customers. Zenrin staff works with clients to field-verify pre-existing data sets to ensure resolve any inconsistencies and ensure the highest quality information.
