Fold up the maps and just press the blue button
Everyone has heard about the onboard communicator known as "Onstar".
Onstar has been a helping hand in saving thousands of people’s lives and is now making road trips even more comfortable and convenient. Onstar now offers real time GPS directions.
The OnStar safety and navigation system will be upgraded a decade after its debut at the Chicago Auto Show, which opens Friday. The upgrade will enable users to receive real-time directions while they are driving. Turn-by-Turn Navigation will debut on the Buick Lucerne and the Cadillac DTS in March, and will gradually be added to other GM vehicles. GM says it will be available on approximately 1 million cars and trucks by the 2007 model year, when GM plans to make OnStar standard on all vehicles.
If you’re a guy and the whole idea of "asking for directions" makes your masculinity twitch then I’m sure you will be excited for this new edition.
Women seem less hesitant to ask for directions, but the convenience-factor should still make this addition quite attractive for both sexes.
