Smartphone Integration to the Car, Announced for India
NNG Leads in Useful
Integration of the Smartphone
Today NNG announced NavFusion™,
its latest innovation in navigation, for its automotive OEM and aftermarket
partners. The newest feature set of the iGO Navigation software is ready to be customized
and integrated with the vehicles of global and local car manufacturers on the Indian
market. Since NNG already experiences strong demand for NavFusion in
India, the company introduces its new technology locally with its strategic partner,
ANS.
NavFusion takes the onboard navigation
experience to a new level by merging the advantages of the reliable and deeply
integrated in-vehicle navigation and the smartphone’s personal nature, Internet
connection, and flexibility.
Having several OEM partners lined up to deliver NavFusion
into their future cars around the globe, the individual product solutions are
currently being customized for the partners’ projects. The first iGO Navigation
software with the NavFusion feature set is expected to launch in Q1 2014.
NavFusion Essentials:
The car’s
NavFusion-supported infotainment system is fully functional as the vehicle
leaves the production line. By downloading the free NavFusion application from
iTunes App Store or Google Play, and then linking the smartphone to the
head-unit, all navigation-related content is synchronized in the background. The process makes map and content updates in
the head-unit simple and effort free. Contacts, favorites, navigation
history, planned routes, and maps are synced between smartphone and head-unit.
The connection between the smartphone and the
infotainment system is achieved through future proof, globally standardized
protocols such as WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB cable, thus enabling live and
connected services such as online local search, weather, traffic and fuel
prices – all available through the main interface of the vehicle.
As the smartphone is automatically updated via the
well-known ecosystems of the iTunes Store or Google Play, updating the maps in
the car becomes a background operation when the phone connects to the car,
which can be accomplished without user interaction.
Why NavFusion?
“We just solved the biggest headache of car makers:
the ultimate solution for keeping the navigation maps and content of a
multimedia unit up-to-date. With NavFusion, we’re not only enhancing the
driving experience with map updates and the integration of personal smartphone
content, but we’re also increasing customer satisfaction and reducing
customer-support related costs,” said Péter Bolesza, Vice President
for EEU and Emerging Markets of NNG.
“We strongly believe that the future of automotive
infotainment is all about smartphone connectivity, content updates and
synchronization. NavFusion offers all this, integrated into the reliable,
globally localized iGO Navigation software, while
maintaining the automotive quality of the car systems. Using the Nav Fusion
feature set enables the use of a fully approved and certified navigation system
with the user experience of a smartphone,” added Bolesza.
