Description

The navigation system offers several new customer features for expanded usability and convenience with hands-free voice-activated operation in addition to the touch screen buttons. The navigation system uses the Bluetooth microphone in the rear view mirror. Navigation routes can be based on a variety of formats including some of the following:

• Destination entry by street intersection, city, zip code, street name, street address and number, state/province/country and phone number.

• Stop/change route.

• Save current position.

• Personal menu, including Guide Me Home, Trip Itinerary, List of Saved Locations, Favorite Points of Interest, Manage Personal User and Choose User.

• Personal Interests including recent routes, address book, Where Am I Now, Emergency (police stations, Dodge dealerships, fire stations, hospitals and emergency care centers), Trail and geo-coordinates.

• Route options include shortest, quickest, maximize freeways, minimize freeways, avoid toll roads and avoid ferries.

• Navigation can be put into DEMO mode to enhance trip planning.

This navigation system will support traffic messaging. Traffic messaging displays voice and pop up warning messages for medium and high priority situations on the route such as road closures due to accidents/hazardous situations and it can even generate a traffic detour for a traffic event located on the route.
