Telenav, Inc. (NASDAQ:TNAV) and Xevo Inc. announced today that
Scout® GPS Link by Telenav and Xevo™ Engine Link were chosen for
select 2018 Toyota vehicles equipped with Entune 3.0. Powered by
your phone and designed for your car, the next generation of Scout
GPS Link provides a richer, fully interactive brought-in navigation
experience into the vehicle.
Scout GPS Link enables drivers to easily transfer the
information displayed on their mobile device to the multimedia
display inside their car. The in-vehicle display experience
includes a fully interactive moving map, powerful cloud-based
services such as intelligent search, voice-guided navigation
optimized for real-time traffic, live ETA with one-tap navigation
on the homescreen for key destinations, and voice recognition.The
connectivity between mobile device and vehicle is provided by Xevo
Engine Link, which allows drivers to securely use real-time data
and in-vehicle services including maps, navigation, and traffic
data provided by Scout GPS Link.
Scout GPS Link was the first brought-in navigation solution to
be powered by OpenStreetMap (OSM) data when it launched in 2016 and
2017 Toyota vehicles. The new Scout GPS Link 2018 solution is
also built on OSM data and will bring more interactivity and a full
navigation experience into the vehicle head unit. The mobile app
update will be made available for Toyota owners for both iPhone and
Android mobile phones as a free download on the Apple App Store and
Google Play.

evolve the Scout GPS Link to deliver a delightful in-car experience
