This week Telenav presented a pretty cool concept that I haven’t seen at his scale never before although it seems pretty simple and straightforward – Integration of your smartphone and in-dash navigation system in your car. What it essentially give you is to sync your favorite locations, trip history, and commute times between the computer, phone, and car and launch the in-dash navi from your smartphone.
One could say that it’s not much but somehow it’s cool concept. It leverage the fact that you often check route on your computer, that while going to car type in all the street names and number and than once GPS connection is enabled you use your smatphone navi. Now, you simple check the route on your laptop and add the location to favourite, than start the app and select that location, and once you’re in the car it will automatically launch the app and present you content on 7 inch navi screen.

According to NewEurope “However, the group explained that terrorism doesn’t exist because of these new cartographic technologies, but they can make it easier the development of these actions if “the diffusion of the data is not well protected.”
