Wayfinder, previously a mobile navigation software, is now an open source mapping and navigation software. Wayfinder Systems AB (called Itinerary Systems IS AB until 2002) was founded in 1995 by David Svensson (CEO 1995-2001, CTO 2001-2004) and investors. The company IPO was in 2005 with the stock listed on Nordic Growth Market (NGM Equity) at a 600 MSEK market cap. In 2009 the Brittish mobile phone operator Vodafonebought all shares in Wayfinder Systems AB and operated it as a wholly owned subsiderary with 97 people employed, specializing in creating mobile navigation systems for a number of platforms such as Symbian 2nd and 3rd edition, UIQ, Windows Mobile and some other smartphones. An external Bluetooth GPS receiver is required for non GPS enabled phones. On March 12, 2010, some years after Google launched Google Maps and then free turn-by-turn mobile phone navigation, it was announced that Vodafone was closing the company and all employees would be let go.
On July 13, 2010, Wayfinder announced that they would open source their software under the BSD 3-clause license. Source code for both the server (with import tools for map data from OpenStreetMap) and client software for various phone operating systems (including Android, iPhone and Symbian S60) is available at GitHub.
