Point One Navigation

Point One Navigation is a San Francisco-based company founded in 2016 specializing in high-precision positioning solutions. The company provides a centimeter-accurate positioning Application Programming Interface (API) leveraging Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction data. This technology enables developers to integrate highly accurate location data into a variety of applications requiring precise positioning.

Point One Navigation distinguishes itself through its RTK correction network, offering 99.9% uptime and global coverage. This network delivers globally-referenced position data with centimeter-level precision, a significant improvement over standard GPS positioning. The company’s core offering focuses on providing this data *as a service* through its API, allowing for easy integration into existing and new applications without the need for developers to build and maintain complex infrastructure.

In November 2025, Point One Navigation announced a $35 million Series C funding round, signaling investor confidence in its technology and market potential. This funding is intended to further develop its capabilities and expand its reach within the growing field of precise location and what the company terms “Physical AI,” suggesting applications beyond simple mapping and navigation.

While specific customer details are not publicly available, Point One Navigation positions itself as a key enabler for applications requiring high-accuracy positioning, potentially serving industries such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, surveying, and precision agriculture. The company’s focus on a robust, globally available API and high uptime establishes a unique value proposition for developers seeking reliable and scalable precision positioning solutions.
