GM will add a feature it calls “Turn-by-Turn Navigation” to its OnStar service, the company said today. GM has released a podcast with Bill Betts, the GM Communications web services manager, explaining the new service, which will premier at the Chicago Auto Show this week. It works like this: when a subscriber asks an OnStar advisor for directions, the advisor sends directions to the vehicle. The automated service verbally directs the motorist to the destination turn by turn. Huber also discusses how OnStar creates new services for each generation of hardware. OnStar’s Turn-by-Turn Navigation will debut on the 2006 Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS in March and the Cadillac STS in the second quarter.
