Feb 27, 2006 gps navigation

…To be introduced at the Chicago Auto Show, OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation is the latest in a series of industry-first innovations from GM, and is the highlight of OnStar’’s latest generation of in-vehicle hardware, its 7th version in just ten years. The service will initially debut on the 2006 Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS in March and the Cadillac STS in Q2 as part of their standard OnStar package. It will be available in approximately 1 million GM cars and trucks in Model Year 2007 and will be expanded further within the portfolio in 2008.

“GM introduced the first OnStar-equipped vehicle at the Chicago Auto Show ten years ago,” said General Motors Chairman and CEO, Rick Wagoner. “Since then, products and competitors have come and gone, but GM and OnStar have never wavered. Today, OnStar has created a comprehensive system that delivers safety, security, and peace of mind for millions of subscribers. OnStar helps set GM cars and trucks apart, and with the launch of services like OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics and now OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation, OnStar continues to lead and define the in-vehicle telematics space.”… via
