(NASDAQ:TNAV), a leading provider of connected car and location-based platform services, has announced its embedded navigation solution is part of the Uconnect® system available in the recently launched 2018 Jeep® Grand Commander, a new entry in the Chinese mid-size SUV market. Telenav embedded navigation is also included in the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which had its China launch in August of last year and will be included in Jeep Cherokee and Compass when they debut in China by year’s end.
The fully embedded Telenav navigation system provides a highly dynamic, relevant, and useful navigation experience. Users will gain access to a variety of new navigation features made possible through Telenav's technologies. Key features include:
“Our expansion in China demonstrates continued positive momentum for Telenav,” commented Hassan Wahla, co-president of the Telenav Automotive Business Unit. “We are pleased to provide Jeep drivers in China access to easy-to-use, localized, reliable, and always-available navigation.”
“The Telenav embedded navigation solution with its various enhancements are ideally suited to the challenging driving environment in China,” said Roger C. Lanctot, director automotive connected mobility for Strategy Analytics. “Our user experience research has consistently shown Chinese consumers using both mobile and aftermarket navigation devices to cope.
