Audi A8 soon with Google Earth GPS navigation
Dec 17, 2009 google, gps navigation
Google today announced that it will put Google Earth as the basis for GPS navigation system for the first time in a vehicle. Audi will be the first car manufacturer to bring Google Earth to your vehicle ‘officially’. If you’re lucky enough to own an Audi A8 you’ll be able to enjoy 3D satellite images, terrain information, and a bunch of other layers of information associated to where you are.
Of course if you have Google Earth in your car you might as well bring other Google services with it. So you can also expect Google Maps and Local Search included in your package.
Another neat feature of Google in your Audi A8 will include the ability to search at your desk and get the directions in your car.
Apparently this will be available in 2011 models which will start around $75K.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is the standard generic term for satellite navigation systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage.GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, tracking and surveillance, and hobbies such as geocaching and waymarking. Also, the precise time reference is used in many applications including the scientific study of earthquakes and as a time synchronization source for cellular network protocols.
