Not only did we grow as a team (there\u2019s now 28 of us!) and as a company, but we also decided to deconstruct our processes, products and services. We\u2019ve begun stitching them back together as well \u2013 a process that\u2019s keeping us busy in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regio.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/regiolased_2023-800x466.jpg\" alt=\"Regio team 2023\" class=\"wp-image-29172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regio.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/regiolased_2023-800x466.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.regio.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/regiolased_2023.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regio\u2019s database of the Baltic countries<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Regio\u2019s main activities is creating a database of addresses, roads, navigation data and points of interests for the Baltic States, and 2023 was a breakthrough year for us in this regard: we tackled the process of swapping out the software we use for our databases. This change benefits us in a number of ways: it streamlines our techniques and simplifies the collection, management and storage of data.

This means Regio currently has two map apps: our old one and the new one. Although our first (and very popular) app, \u2018Estonian Roads\u2019, can still be used, it will no longer get monthly data updates. The new app, \u2018Regio Map\u2019, covers all three Baltic States, i.e. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The map automatically rotates according to your direction of travel thanks to the Regio vector map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Regio map for iOS devices in the App Store:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fee%2Fapp%2Fregio-kaart%2Fid6443934675&amp;h=AT1gu7653QtGkpqtJjgDDX32qsRmz9JXPkq0T9w71W3ds1ALP6-1k1Ni-Dd52t73EDPGb-HkxPM4mSrkQg9txgEM6UqsM1S7QXLkQBoi6ASkQmc-wb-kju9g3vmOztjeSx6I&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c%5b0%5d=AT2hp557OkfW7JoCkWYJywG5QM4oUhiEg6EqCXiUaYophPD5PYwXq9RU-05MQoIQ1niyVQe3PSUCANuaWMTCeACeHmOuPXHsP5doKWfYcryX_tY4WEduklYEq_A1aypZ-WlCI3T_pvZRjdjNxykA4HaQNdTKlwZ-xOSTyHODFtRXapau_79XEEVgzlhnzSYiLESLLzgRCxjE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/ee\/app\/regio-kaart\/id6443934675<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regio map for Android devices in Google Play<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dee.regio.regio2022%26hl%3Det%26gl%3DUS%26fbclid%3DIwAR0hMUBF3WRZ_g1nAdQpoOtXXrlJkHI3dE7d2ZA-KmM3y7SXD9cDgYmZinM&amp;h=AT1GGnzM1-4lpd3EavTYn247wX1BRmOc78ySsEgtxy3IplRL2djEKrk9Bww7aTiJe_ewabqXV8J4tlCh-n4haOAWGywNoVxpIocnXx2YVPrxxiSvrRpznfWaKFCvnXSGhK-O&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c%5b0%5d=AT2hp557OkfW7JoCkWYJywG5QM4oUhiEg6EqCXiUaYophPD5PYwXq9RU-05MQoIQ1niyVQe3PSUCANuaWMTCeACeHmOuPXHsP5doKWfYcryX_tY4WEduklYEq_A1aypZ-WlCI3T_pvZRjdjNxykA4HaQNdTKlwZ-xOSTyHODFtRXapau_79XEEVgzlhnzSYiLESLLzgRCxjE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details&#8230;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15 years of Regio\u2019s Garmin maps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The earliest versions of our maps made using official Garmin technology were created in 2008. Although Garmin devices already included a map of Estonia at that time, the first proper Estonian data only reached Garmin\u2019s \u2018Navigator Europe\u2019 15 years ago, via Regio.
