Garmin Portable Device for VW up! Redefines Infotainment for Compact Cars
There are many reasons why the compact car segment is gaining momentum, most importantly better fuel-efficiency. But you might be wondering how smaller cars stack up against their bigger siblings when it comes to infotainment. The new Volkswagen up! is a great example, showing that you don't have to sacrifice your infotainment options when opting for a smaller car: The next-generation maps + more portable infotainment
device from Garmin provides a comprehensive
infotainment package, including navigation, a media player, vehicle information
and Bluetooth hands-free capabilities. maps + more live adds connected services, such as real-time traffic and
weather information, local search provided by Yelp as well as safety camera
warnings. Users simply connect their smartphone to the device via Bluetooth to
enable the services[1], utilizing their existing data
plan. The portable device features a five-inch touchscreen and is fully
integrated into the vehicle. maps + more live is available now as a factory-installed
option for Volkswagen up! vehicles in Australia and Europe.
“maps + more live packs the features of a fully integrated
infotainment system into a portable device that is connected, can easily be
updated and provides excellent value,” said Peter Schubert, vice president
automotive OEM at Garmin Würzburg GmbH. “We’re thrilled to partner with
Volkswagen on such an innovative project and look forward to delivering our
leading infotainment technology to Volkswagen up! customers.”
