Geospatial World Hall of Fame 2026: Corinne Vigreux & Harold Goddijn

On 29th April 2026, at the Geospatial World Forum 2026 in Amsterdam, Geospatial World proudly inducted Corinne Vigreux and Harold Goddijn — co-founders of TomTom — into the Geospatial Hall of Fame, recognizing their extraordinary and enduring contribution to the geospatial and mapping industry.

Together, they co-founded what would become TomTom — turning navigation from a complex, specialist tool into something intuitive, accessible, and indispensable to millions of people around the world. From the early days of Palmtop Software, through the launch of portable GPS devices, to building a global leader in location intelligence, their vision reshaped entire industries and the rhythm of everyday life.

Corinne and Harold didn’t just follow the evolution of location. They led it.
