Gone are the days of pulling the car over, searching for a map to figure out where you are or where you\u2019re going. Arguing with your fellow passenger about going in the wrong direction is now a distant memory.<\/p>\n
Thanks to state-of-the-art infotainment systems, with digital maps installed on your embedded navigation, you can get to your destination in peace. Unless met with an unexpected traffic system or roadworks. Then you may find yourself dangerously driving the wrong way up a one-way street, shouting at your navigation system instead.<\/p>\n
Sure, you could leave your car in a dealership overnight and get the map updated once, or twice a year, but the spontaneity of a road trip is lost.<\/p>\n
This is where over the air updates\u00a0come into play. Using a wireless network, you can receive map and navigation updates directly from your car manufacturer in the comfort of your own, well, the car actually. With the touch of a button, the OTA software update is instantly applied. You can even schedule automatic OTA updating once a new map becomes available.<\/p>\n
