Hasn't been my experience, but I've never had a car nav system, just attempted to use other people's. Could be a learning curve issue since I'm used to my phone UI and not the cars'.
People downvoting honkhonkpants, please don't. You may disagree with him, but it's a well thought out discussion.
- foobarian 10y agoTheoretically the car nav has access to inertial/distance sensors which help a ton in tunnels/weak GPS spots. But I bet few cars have this. It would sure be nice to have this exported to phones somehow. (Heck, have the whole OBD feed exposed. One can dream...)
- wlesieutre 10y agoI imagine a car's sensors could be more accurate than a phone's because they're in a fixed orientation. Plus it can tell if you're turning the wheel and should have the same distance info that the odometer gets. The OBD-II data should include odometer readings. I assume phones could at least get that via bluetooth dongles, but I'm not aware of any nav apps that do.
