Apple to buy Coherent Navigation

For many of the largest Silicon Valley technology companies, location software undergirds numerous applications and features in their products.
For Apple, it has been a game of catch-up.

To that end, Apple confirmed on Sunday that it had purchased Coherent Navigation, a Bay Area global positioning company, further bolstering Apple's location technology and services.

"Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," the company said in an email.

Founded in 2008, Coherent Navigation was a small firm that focused on creating commercial navigation services based on partnerships with companies like Boeing and Iridium, the satellite network operator, according to a description on the LinkedIn page of Paul Lego, the company's former chief executive.

Since its start, the importance of its technology has only grown. Coherent Navigation worked on high-precision navigation systems, technology that is far stronger than many consumer-grade global positioning systems, which are typically accurate to within 3 to 5 meters. In the past, Coherent Navigation has also worked on autonomous navigation and robotics projects, according to previous company job listings, as well as projects for the Defence Department.
