- Stores the information downloaded in the navigation function so the information can be reused as required.
- Destination Assist Connect is an in-vehicle service that allows
subscribers to request directions to any location. Subscribers are
connected to an agent through the Destination Assist button and may ask
the agent to download the location of any destination to the navigation
function in the vehicle. Agents are able to locate specific Points Of
Interest (POI's) by search terms, locate specific addresses, or provide
Zagat-rated restaurants as premium POI's. Agents are able to search for
POI's using the distance from the vehicle, from a city, or from another
POI. The navigation function can store up to 5 POI's at a time, which
can be added to the device queue as the first or last entry, or as a
replacement for all entries.

- Dynamic navigation searches the server for the latest map data and
traffic information, etc., and depending on the latest traffic status
and other data, optimizes the route and updates the map.
- Dynamic navigation requires a contract, and a full update of the map
database in the navigation ECU should be performed every 3 years.
(d) Dynamic Voice Recognition By
performing the voice recognition process with the server, natural talk
input and other interactive voice operations besides the specified
commands can be performed. In addition, by storing all of the user's
utterances, the server will learn, and be able to perform voice
recognition with greater accuracy. |
