Wonder Why Jaguar Chose HERE?
Two simple reasons.
The first was the ‘commute mode’. This is unique in that it learns your regular
route without the driver having to do anything. People generally don’t need
maneuver guidance for their daily commute, but they do want to know if
conditions change due to heavy traffic or road closures. HERE pops into life
and offers suggestions when you actually need it. And, the second reason
was HERE’s experience with companion apps for phones and tablets. These
automatically maintain the real time status of your journey and destinations
inside and outside the vehicle, once again, without the driver having to do
anything. Just switch it on and it’s got everything there. Learn More About Why Jaguar Chose HERE
