send google maps directions to your BMW

Mar 7, 2007 gps navigation

It looks like the video was found on personal blog of Google Italy Communication Manager, Stefano Hesse. Stefano says that this is a “project, for the time being related to Germany only, which I have personally coordinated and about which I am really proud. Any other car companies soon?”

That’s all the details we have now. Updates to follow… via

    [...] Google Maps uueneb, laieneb ja kolib TomTom navigatsiooniseadmetesse: Kasutaja saab varsti TomTom Home tarkvara abil saata infot Google Maps’ist oma navigatsiooniseadmesse, et siis hiljem seda infot lihtsalt vaadata või kasutada navigeerimisel.
