History

The company was founded in 2002 by Jun Hou, Congwu Cheng and Jun Xiao "to develop digital map data for in-dash navigation systems in automobiles".

In 2007, Amap launched their first in-house developed car navigation system.

In 2021, Amap was integrated into Alibaba's Lifestyle Services division, which also includes food delivery service Ele.me.

In March 2023, Amap claimed 150 million average daily active users.

On 21 January 2025 the company launched an English version of their app for Android, iOS and HarmonyOS. This is China's first English map for overseas users. In 2026, an investigation of the app's network traffic found that Amap regularly transmits user location data to servers in China.
