The connected car platform is enhanced by the Mobile Companion App, which accompanies the driver on the road and on foot to ensure a personalized and seamless navigation experience.
Telenav has been among the first to bring GPS navigation to mobile phones. Now there are almost twenty million vehicles equipped with Telenav navigation systems, half of which are connected cars. The goal is to create a larger network of connected cars that has the ability to transform life on the road for millions of people worldwide.
In order to reach this goal, Telenav has partnered with some of the big names in the automotive industry like GM, Ford, Opel, Toyota, Daimler, and Lexus.
At the NDS Public Conference in September 2020, Telenav presented their navigation and map data streaming solution based on NDS.Classic. It allows high performance and flexibility in a cost-efficient way. By ensuring the needed map data for everyday navigation experiences is always ready for use and streaming additional data to the vehicle when the user is driving outside of a home zone, the Telenav solution offers a delightful connected car experience.
It proves that NDS as a data format is versatile for such hybrid approaches where data is stored and streamed and seamlessly consumed by a navigation solution.
