Fascinavigation

For many years, we have been working on making the data in our navigation systems as photo-realistic as possible. The work has now come to an end: Audi simply uses real photos – from Google™ Earth and Google™ Street View.

Audi connect enables you to navigate into a totally new dimension – with the UMTS module of the Bluetooth online car phone you can navigate using true-to-life Google™ Earth images. High-resolution aerial and satellite images, photos, geological formations, roads and their names/numbers and business listings make the data even more useful.

The system accesses the data on the selected route in advance and combines the data from Google™ Earth with the information on the road network from the MMI® navigation plus.

Thanks to Google™ Street View* you can see what the destination looks like while you are still driving there: just “run through” the street views made up of numerous photos and look at it from every perspective.

Navigation with Google™ Earth and Google™ Street View is available in many Audi models, e.g. the A1, A4, A5, Q3, Q5 and Q7.
