Navigation app
Note
Latest app version
Be sure to update the app whenever there's a new version available. Functionality and support for old versions may vary.
Connected navigation features
Whenever your car is connected to the internet, it can get the latest navigation information.
| Real-time traffic information | You can get real-time traffic information if the car is connected to the internet. For example, you can see if traffic is moving slowly. Different coloured lines that correspond to traffic situations will appear on your chosen map route. If the internet connection is lost, the lines disappear after a while. You also get information about traffic conditions along the chosen route, such as roadworks or accidents. |
| Alternative routes and redirected traffic | When you set a destination in the navigation app, the fastest route is suggested while also taking your navigation settings into account. For example, you can choose to avoid tolls or ferries. The chosen route can be redirected while you are driving, such as when there is an accident or a traffic condition that affects your travelling time. |
| Sharing information with other devices | Link your Google account to an active user profile to get the same Google Maps information in your car as on your other devices. Destinations saved to your Google account using other devices, such as home, work, favourites and last searches, are then also available in your car. |
Offline maps
When you are connected to the internet, you can download map areas so that they are available in the car even if your car has poor reception or no internet connection. This feature is available in Google Maps' settings.

Navigation limitations

- Navigation instructions can sometimes be less reliable than usual due to factors such as weather or road conditions.
Poor or no internet connection
The navigation app can have trouble finding a route or signal when you are in a location which can interfere with your internet connection, such as a tunnel or multi-storey car park.
Tip
Range and charging
