SmartNav: Navigation is the successor to SmartNav, with a number of new features including 3D views, free map updates and full offline functionality. SmartNav: Navigation will guide vehicles through the most difficult of areas around Australia, even when out of communications range. No downloading or streaming required – all mapping information is stored on the device at all times. Its visually intuitive 3D interface is familiar, with advanced voice instruction and dynamic lane guidance providing easy-to-comprehend turn-by-turn guidance. With night-mode automatically activated, navigating to an address is a simple feat. SmartNav: Navigation provides two methods to help drivers get to their destination: drivers are able to input an address directly into the application, or have a route sent directly to them from the back-office.

SmartNav: Navigation continues to display all the necessary ETA-based information you’ve grown accustomed to, including current speeds, sign-posted limits, route progress bar, distances to next turn and destination along with local area information (suburb, current road). With mapping updates completed over-the-air via a WiFi network, you’re sure to have the most up-to-date guidance at all times.

Features and Benefits 

  • Receive up to two free map updates per year that are automatically installed as they are made available via WiFi connection.* 
  • Advanced turn-by-turn voice instruction and dynamic lane guidance. Familiar and visually intuitive 3D interface with automated night-mode feature that darkens the display to make it easier to view after dark.
  • Route optimisation for Truck, Emergency, Bus, Van and Taxi. 
  • Ability to input vehicle configuration to help avoid protected assets such as sub-standard bridges with weight limits or low heights. 
  • Works completely offline and independent of the mobile network, no downloads, or streaming required to operate – data only required to receive ‘route-to’ message. 
  • Ability for back-office staff to send a route to the driver to complete via Director or NextGen. 
  • Displays all the necessary estimated time of arrival information, including route guidance line, current speed, sign-posted speed limit, lane guidance arrows, current road, area information (suburb), distance till next turn, distance till destination, time till destination and established time of arrival. 

*WiFi is required to be set up on the device (please see here for a how-to guide) to download all map updates. This cannot be done over the 3G/4G mobile network due to intensive data requirements.
