What does navi mean in a car?
2 Answers
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. The built-in car voice electronic navigation system naviA301 is a multifunctional in-vehicle computer that integrates multimedia capabilities and can perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Its functions are roughly divided into five parts: folder, multimedia, assistant, entertainment, and system. 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 help the car owner drive safely, manage files, and maintain the vehicle; the entertainment system can provide small games for the car owner's entertainment; and the system allows for the setting of some system parameters, including audio and video settings.
Last time my friend asked me what 'navi' in the car was, and I demonstrated it to him. It's actually short for 'navigation,' called a navigation system in Chinese. My car has a touchscreen version, where you can just say the destination or handwrite it while driving, and the screen displays the real-time route. Once, in an unfamiliar city, I relied entirely on it—it not only automatically avoided traffic jams but also alerted me to speed cameras at intersections. Nowadays, most new cars come with this feature, and some even connect to the internet for real-time traffic updates, making it much more convenient than phone navigation. After using it for a while, I found that you can select a 3D map mode in the settings, so you won’t get lost even when driving at night.
