Honda to add Google Earth to cars

04/05/2006, 8:38 AM

By admin

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. The technology is now being expanded to interface to Google Earth, which provides high-resolution satellite images of cities. So far, no word on plans to bring the technology to the U.S. In February, Leftlane reported that Google and Volkswagen had partnered with nVidia to bring 3-dimensional Google Maps to car navigation systems. The companies promised the technology would make it to showrooms very soon.

And what proof do you have of this?

The cost of Google Earth for this type of usage would be higher than the current software and map in current navigation systems. Plus, Google Earth takes a huge amount of bandwidth to stream its data to a computer. It is not feasible to offer a hard drive big enough to account for all of the data and there is not enough wireless bandwidth to allow for it.

Give us some proof or some more details. Right now, it seems like this story was made up. Keep in mind that the Volkswagen demonstration was listed as an experiement.

This is already in the US. The Acura RL was the first car to have it introduced. It is only avalible in select citys however. None the less it is here and standard on the Acura RL.

This would be much more accurate… and could include much more information. I think consumers would be willing to pay the increase cost. After all they did have MAPS… before they had all the fancy GPS stuff.

Dighel al Dutur » Honda mette Google Earth in macchina

[...] Da una notizia riportata in Leftlane, Honda ha in programma di installare sul suo sistema di navigazione InterNavi VICS (Vehicle Information and Communication System) la technologia di Google Earth. Questo sistema gia’ adesso prevede una connessione wireless ad Internet con comandi vocali per email e navigazione web: con Google Earth consentira’ di scaricare immagini ad alta risoluzione delle zone di percorrenza. L’unica controindicazione che vedo io e’ che molte immagini di Google Earth sono datate; spero che questo super-navigatore abbia accesso ad immagini piu’ recenti o si rischia di trovare il centro commerciale al posto del campo di calcetto… [...]

Google Earth For Live Driving Directions?

Honda is going to start adding Google Earth to its navigation system to cars in Japan. This should allow users to see satellite images integrated into their car navigation system as they drive. However, Honda is not the only one

Google Earth se integrar� al salpicadero de los Honda

Si acaso estabas pensando en cambiarte de coche y eres un fan�tico del GPS adem�s del servicio de Google Earth, esp�rate un poco y puede que Honda ser� el pr�ximo concesionario en el que entres a echar un vistazo.

Desgraciadamente, tendr�s que ir
