What does navi mean in a car?
2 Answers
The navi in a car refers to the built-in voice electronic navigation system of the vehicle. Many car models have a top configuration navigation version, which essentially includes an additional GPS system. More details are as follows: 1. The built-in car voice electronic navigation system naviA301 is a vehicle computer that integrates multimedia functions and can perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Its functions are roughly divided into five parts: folder, multimedia, assistant, entertainment, and system. 2. The folder system can store some commonly used functions for the car owner; the multimedia system can watch TV and high-definition DVD movies, listen to radio programs, and enjoy CD and MP3 music; the assistant system can assist the car owner in safe driving, file management, and vehicle maintenance; the entertainment system can provide small games for the car owner's entertainment; the system allows for setting some system parameters, including audio and video settings.
When I first bought my car, I was also puzzled by the label 'Navi' on it. Later, I learned that it's short for the navigation system, an abbreviation of the English word 'Navigation,' which is a tool to help drivers find the correct route. It's very convenient to use—just input your destination, and the system will display the map and route via satellite positioning, with voice prompts for turns. I often drive to other cities for travel, and without it, I would have gotten lost many times. Some cars have built-in screens, while others connect to smartphones via apps, both equally useful. It's recommended to update the maps regularly; otherwise, newly opened roads might not be recorded. You might not need it for daily commutes, but it's definitely a helpful companion for long-distance driving. If your car doesn't have a built-in system, you can buy a phone holder on Taobao and connect to a navigation app. This saves time and reduces wrong turns, especially friendly for beginners, but don't rely on it too much—occasionally learning to remember road signs is also good.
