Search for the destination on the operation terminal. You can record and save location information for frequently visited places and share these locations with others. The GPS navigation system will automatically plan a route based on the set starting point and destination. You can also set whether to pass through certain waypoints during route planning. The operation terminal will display the map, the current position of the vehicle, driving speed, distance to the destination, and route guidance information based on the planned route.
The navigation system in my 2021 Buick Regal works quite smoothly. Just tap the navigation icon on the central control screen to start. You can input destinations either by handwriting or voice control - simply say 'Navigate to [destination]' and it understands. When selecting routes, there are three options available, including avoiding traffic congestion or prioritizing highways, and the map automatically displays estimated arrival time. While driving, it gives turn-by-turn reminders two kilometers in advance, with small directional arrows also appearing on the instrument cluster. Adding waypoints is straightforward too - just include places like gas stations or restaurants, and it will recalculate the route accordingly. Map updates can be done by connecting to a mobile hotspot, eliminating the need for special trips to the dealership, which is really convenient.
I'm used to getting in the car and directly saying 'Hello Buick, navigate to the office' to the steering wheel, and the voice recognition is quite accurate. The system displays three different routes for you to choose from. After selecting a route, you can also see how many traffic lights there are along the way. During navigation, clicking the settings button in the lower right corner allows you to adjust the voice volume or turn off the 3D map to save power. If you don't want to hear the prompts, just click the mute icon, but turn notifications will still appear on the dashboard. I often save frequently used addresses, so next time I can just click the address in the favorites to use it, which is much more convenient than entering it again each time.
The most useful feature of the 21 Regal's navigation is the real-time traffic function, which clearly displays congested red sections. When you notice the route turning red, simply tap the 'Avoid Congestion' button at the bottom of the screen, and the system will instantly suggest a new route. For long trips, enable the service area reminder, and it will alert you to gas stations when you're running low on fuel. Finding parking is also convenient, as the system automatically shows nearby parking lot information five minutes before reaching your destination. New users should first set their home and work addresses; the system will then predict arrival times based on traffic conditions and even allow sharing this information with family members.
