Honda will soon add Google Earth to its ‘internavi Premium Club’ navigation service in Japan. The advanced navigation system was first launched in 2003, offering a wireless connection to the internet to download the latest traffic information to the built-in computer.
Now, I haven’t had much luck with Google Earth with directions, but I know people who are LUSTING after a product like this. Thanks for the tip Jim!
Cool beans, but honestly, shouldn’t it be google maps, since earth uses images produced sometimes 10 years ago?
But I digress… I’ve been using the CHP website for months planning my routes. Nothing like knowing where the accidents are to shorten my trips.
That’s totally awesome; I’m glad that this kind of stuff should be standard in the US by the time I’m middle aged.
Better than MSN Maps, I mean…
What if we actually wanted to go to 1, Infinite Loop, Cupertino? :P
Volkswagen announced Google Earth integration in February, and demonstrated it in March (http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2006/03/google_earth_fo_3.html). Germany, not Japan, first.
