NNG unveiled its newest navigation system for Dacia automobiles, giving users an intuitive interface to alter the information of their onboard navigation systems. When a car model lacks over-the-air (OTA) update capabilities, the feature offers a straightforward way to update the navigation.

Drivers can choose, buy, and download the most recent regional content packages via the Dacia Map Update app directly to their mobile devices. The user only needs to plug their phone into the car, launch the app, and upload the desired map packages to the Dacia Media Nav. The smartphone app, a brand-new component of NNG's navigation service, will give Dacia clients quick access to a wide range of map packages.

Garmin recently upgraded its industry-leading DriveSmart brand of satnavs (automotive navigation systems), streamlining its range to focus on two basic lines of satnavs, as well as several versions focused on motorcycles, vans, heavy freight vehicles, and campers and vans. The user interface, style, screen technology, and associated functions vary, but they use the same maps and have the same basic features.

The newest generation of Garmin satnavs all use the same maps and have "Real Directions" instructions, which give you directions based on things like street names and nearby landmarks.

In addition to voice control and smartphone integration, which allow hands-free talking and texting using your satnav, the DriveSmart series also adds some additional features that the simpler Drive 52 lacks, such as 3D views of buildings and the surrounding terrain on the map.
