Audi Updates Satellite Navigation System
Advanced multimedia and navigation systems are becoming increasingly central to daily life with modern cars. Especially at the luxury end of the segment, where BMW's iDrive, Mercedes-Benz's COMAND, Lexus's new haptic system with Enform and Audi's MMI all compete for top honors. The latest iteration of Audi's navigation system and MMI has now been released and is scheduled to debut in the A3, TT and R8 models.
New features include improved screen resolution and faster route calculation speed. The radio-navigation system, version E (RNS-E), can also be combined with the Audi music interface and now reads up to 32GB SD memory cards.
The most obvious improvement are the 800x480 pixel, high-resolution graphics displayed on the 6.5in screen. Route calculation is quicker too thanks to a new processor clocked at 600MHz. In addition to the recommended lane, the split-screen display now also shows speed limits taken from the navigation data for freeways and highways. In topographic map view, users can scroll vertically, horizontally and now also along the route as they wish.
