GPS User Experience of the Future
Raphael Orlove, writing for Jalopnik:
The last and best feature of the car is Honda’s GPS solution: it’s your phone. You can order the car with navigation for something around $1500, or you can download the HondaLink app from Honda for $59.99 and get something better. With the app, the car will display your phone’s GPS on its seven-inch display. That means as you upgrade your phone, you’ll be upgrading your GPS, too. I can’t think of a better system.
Why has this idea taken so long. I have the ability to talk to my cell phone and trigger an action. Why can’t I use the maps that are on my phone to display onto my GPS interface. Honda just happens to be the first ones to make the move.
