London, UK / Seoul, South Korea – 19 November 2025
Parkopedia and Hyundai AutoEver have taken a decisive step toward the future of seamless mobility, unveiling Europe’s first fully integrated end-to-end in-car navigation and indoor mapping service. Designed to remove friction from the final metres of any journey, the new Indoor Maps solution guides drivers directly to a specific indoor parking bay, EV charger or designated zone—without relying on GPS, and without the stress traditionally associated with underground or enclosed parking environments.
A Navigation Experience That Doesn’t Stop at the Car Park Entrance
For decades, even the best in-car navigation systems handed drivers off at the entrance of a parking garage, leaving them to decode dim arrows, spiralling ramps and unclear signage. Parkopedia’s new service rewrites that experience entirely.
Indoor Maps continues the guidance all the way to an exact parking spot or charging point, delivering a true end-to-end navigation journey. Whether drivers need an EV charger, an accessible space or a dedicated mobility zone, the system ensures they reach it with precision.
As drivers increasingly prioritise tech that simplifies their lives, this capability is set to become a key differentiator for automakers—especially as urban mobility, electrification and autonomous features converge.
Futureproofing Fleets Through High-Definition Indoor Mapping
The technology is built not on low-resolution or static mapping, but on rich 3D point cloud data that captures real-world indoor environments in extraordinary detail. This allows vehicles to understand their surroundings with greater accuracy, laying essential groundwork for next-generation mobility features such as Automated Valet Parking (AVP), smarter infrastructure interactions and eventual autonomy.
This high-fidelity approach also enables better context: walking routes, payment zones, EV chargers, entry points and even elevator or staircase locations are all incorporated to deliver unprecedented awareness inside complex facilities.
Scaling Across Europe—with North America Underway
Parkopedia and Hyundai AutoEver are set to become the first to scale high-definition indoor mapping across Europe. The company already holds a robust inventory of mapped car parks across the continent and continues to expand rapidly, supported by new AI-driven tooling and automated processes that accelerate the mapping of fresh locations.
North American expansion has already begun, starting in the San Francisco Bay Area, with more regions in active deployment to meet rising customer demand.
Prioritising High-Traffic Mobility Hubs
To maximise everyday value for drivers, Parkopedia has focused first on major mobility hubs—airports, train station car parks and large shopping centres. The company has already mapped 18 of Europe’s 25 busiest airports, including facilities with up to 6,000 spaces. For travellers navigating unfamiliar terminals, this removes uncertainty and significantly reduces the time spent finding a suitable parking spot.
AI-Enhanced Tooling to Accelerate Global Coverage
Creating high-definition, multi-layered indoor maps is a complex process, but Parkopedia has invested heavily in new automation and AI optimisation to streamline this. Using computer vision, machine learning and proprietary algorithms, the company can now automatically identify and catalogue features such as entrances, stairwells, ramps and elevators—dramatically increasing speed and scalability.
This technological foundation ensures the mapping catalogue can grow quickly enough to support global automakers and their future mobility ambitions.
A Seamless Journey, Indoors and Out
Parkopedia has also integrated Indoor Maps with its EV product to provide an uninterrupted parking-and-charging experience. As EV adoption rises worldwide, the ability to reliably locate and access chargers—especially in indoor environments—has become essential. Whether parking at a local mall or a distant airport, drivers can now expect one consistent, intelligent journey.
Industry Leaders Speak Out
Duncan Licence, Chief Product Officer at Parkopedia, emphasised the importance of the achievement:
“We are pleased that Hyundai AutoEver has proven that our Indoor Maps service can be successfully integrated into its vehicles and highly valued by its users. We are committed to making cities more livable, with this technology contributing immensely to end-to-end multi-modal travel and seamless mobility across a variety of everyday use cases.”
With automakers accelerating toward smarter ecosystems and autonomy-ready platforms, Indoor Maps marks a pivotal milestone. It transforms the often-frustrating final stage of navigation into a smooth, intuitive experience—while laying the groundwork for a future where vehicles navigate even the most complex indoor environments entirely on their own.
