Automotive Navigation Application

Overview

In the Navigation application, users can quickly access settings to tailor how routes are planned, displayed, and guided.

Map

This section contains all settings related to map management. When the map is in online first, users can:

  • Toggle automatic map updates on or off.
  • Download or remove maps.

At the bottom of the page, two indicators display the status of online and offline maps.

For online maps, users will see whether the online maps are up to date, or if they are not subscribed for updates. A label below indicates the status of offline maps, including the last time they were updated and the version number.
