CARWINGS MINI includes several connected services to provide drivers relevant information while on the road. A friend finder feature allows drivers to share their position with friends and family, making it easy to meet up.
Also included are several news feeds and weather forecasts, which can be read out by the unit, so drivers can keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Additionally, the SMS functionality allows users to read out and dictate messages by voice.
Dongfeng Nissan CARWINGS MINI includes many of Garmin’s signature features found in the company’s newest PNDs. This includes spoken turn-by-turn directions, traffic rerouting, lane assistance, speed limit warnings and current speed display.
Garmin’s one-shot address entry via voice command allows users to enter a destination by voice by simply saying it and without going through multiple menus. Realistic 3D views of buildings and key landmarks provide drivers better orientation. Using topographic map data, the Garmin system also displays 3D terrain views of landscape elevations, helping drivers to see what lies ahead.
