Connected navigation features
Whenever your vehicle is connected to the internet, it can get the latest navigation information.
Real-time traffic information | You can get real-time traffic information if the vehicle is connected to the Internet. For example, you can see if traffic is moving slowly. Different colored lines that correspond to traffic situations will appear on your chosen map route. If the Internet connection is lost, the lines disappear after a while. You also get information about traffic conditions along the chosen route, such as roadworks or accidents. |
Alternative routes and redirected traffic | When you set a destination in the navigation app, the fastest route is suggested while also taking your navigation settings into account. For example, you can choose to avoid tolls or ferries. The chosen route can be redirected while you are driving, such as when there is an accident or a traffic condition that affects your travel time. |
Sharing information with other devices | Link your Google account to an active user profile to get the same Google Maps information in your vehicle as on your other devices. Destinations saved to your Google account using other devices, such as home, work, favorites and last searches, are then also available in your vehicle. |
