Google rolls out phoneless navigation support in Maps on Wear OS

<p><div class="image-container float_right" style="width:400px"><div class="image"></div><p class="source"><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/author/alex-davies">Alex Davies</a></p><p class="caption">Cadillac's CUE system.</p></div>Drivers increasingly prefer using applications on their smartphones to the <keyword id="48724" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Navigation">navigation</keyword> systems that come installed in their <keyword id="20632" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Cars">cars</keyword>.</p>
<p>In a <a href="http://autos.jdpower.com/content/study-auto/l3KYlac/2012-u-s-navigation-usage-and-satisfaction-study-results.htm">survey by J.D. Power and Associates</a>, 46 percent of respondents said they "definitely would not" or "probably would not" repurchase a navigation system from the manufacturer, if they had the option of displaying their smartphone navigation on a central screen in the car.</p>
<p>Among the 20,704 car owners surveyed, satisfaction with navigation systems was just 681 out of 1,000; a 13-point decrease from 2011.</p>
<p>Manufacturer nav systems have improved in the past year, so why the drop in satisfaction?</p>
<p>It's simple: Smartphone apps like Google Maps are more advanced than what automakers are offering, so they are preferable.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/autopia/2013/01/jd-power-nav-sucks/">Damon Lavrinc at Wired argues</a> automakers have two options:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">They can continue to refine and adapt embedded navigation systems to offer more intuitive interfaces and smartphone-connected features that drivers are demanding, or completely cede control of the dash to a “dumb screen” that simply mirrors — or modifies for safe <keyword id="30692" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="driving">driving</keyword> operation — their smartphone on the vehicle’s central display.</p>
<p>So far, they have gone with the first option. Cadillac promotes CUE, its touchscreen "infotainment" system, as one reason to buy its new ATS and XTS sedans. In our <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/2013-cadillac-ats-review-2012-11">test drive of the XTS</a>, we found CUE more advanced than most systems, but it's not as good as what smartphone applications like Google Maps offer.</p>
<p>Ford is making a similar push with MyFord Touch, which has been plagued by reliability issues, <a href="http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2012/12/move-over-myford-touch-apologists-it-truly-is-a-reliability-issue.html">summed up here by Consumer Reports</a>.</p>
<p>Audi is ahead of the game: Its "Audi Connect" system <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/test-drive-2013-audi-s6-s7-s8-2012-11">uses Google's navigation products</a>, offering car buyers a product they are likely to be familiar with and that has a proven track record.</p>
<p>Eventually, Ford may indirectly give drivers a version of what they want, through its <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21729015.700-fords-opensource-kit-brings-era-of-smart-car-apps.html">recently released OpenXC</a>: open-source hardware that will allow programmers to create apps for the car's computer system.</p>
<p>But so far, no automaker has simply provided a way to connect a smartphone with the car's central display, the seemingly simple solution that many consumers really want.</p>

While it's most dynamic when connected to your cellular service, the app has offline capabilities, granting you access to directions without reception. </p><p>Here's everything else you should know about the Waze app's features. </p><h3>Check out the products mentioned in this article:</h3><h4><a href="https://apple.sjv.io/c/196318/435031/7613?subId1=biipg_091817_best-iphone&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fshop%2Fbuy-iphone%2Fiphone-11e-11" rel="nofollow noopener nofollow nofollow">iPhone 11 (From $699.99 at Apple)</a></h4><h4><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Samsung-Galaxy-S10-G973-128GB-Unlocked-GSM-LTE-Phone-with-Triple-12MP-12MP-16MP-Rear-Camera-Prism-Black/104597743" rel="nofollow noopener nofollow nofollow">Samsung Galaxy S10 (From $859.99 at Walmart)</a></h4><h2><strong>What you need to know about Waze, the socially-focused traffic and navigation app</strong></h2><p>Like Google or Apple Maps, the most basic way to use Waze is by getting turn-by-turn directions. You can, for example, choose the quickest route, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-avoid-tolls-on-waze">avoid tolls</a>, or share your drive and ETA — something that can be especially helpful when meeting up with a group.</p><p>But because it's community-sourced and designed with drivers in mind, users can also receive updates on plowed and unplowed roads during winter weather events, alerts about natural disasters, notifications of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-report-police-on-waze">police speed traps</a> or <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-report-traffic-on-waze">road hazards</a>, and even determine the best time to leave to avoid the worst slowdowns. </p><p><div type="image" title="What is Waze   1.PNG" height="1136" width="640" msid="75747697" hostid="261"></div></p><p>What helps Waze stand apart is how unusually socially-focused it is for a GPS tool. Not only does the app let you see the other Wazers on the road with you, but it provides two different chat options.</p><p>One allows you <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-report-traffic-on-waze">to comment on-road incidents right on the map</a>, whether you're explaining the cause of a traffic jam or just sharing your frustration. The other is a private messaging feature that allows you to chat directly with friends. Beyond navigation and chat, Waze also lets you connect your favorite music streaming account or sync events from Facebook or your calendar. </p><p><div type="image" title="What is Waze 3" height="1334" width="750" msid="75747700" hostid="261"></div></p><p>That focus on communication is about more than person-to-person interaction. It's the backbone of Waze, allowing users to provide updates for nearby drivers that paints a full map of the commute experience. And for added protection, Waze has a team of designated maps editors who verify data to ensure the information users add to the app is as up-to-date and as accurate as possible.</p><p>The more you use it, the more you realize it has to offer. When you begin using the app, you're known as a Waze baby, but as you choose to navigate with it more and more, Waze graduates you to a Wazer, Waze Knight, and eventually Waze Royalty. With its game-like inspirations, Waze provides you the chance to "level up," earning points and unlocking achievements as you drive. </p><h2><strong>Related coverage from <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-reference">Tech Reference</a>:</strong></h2><ul><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-report-traffic-on-waze">How to report traffic jams on Waze and give helpful directions to other drivers</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-change-voice-on-waze">How to change the voice of your Waze navigation app in 5 simple steps</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-save-address-in-waze">How to save an address in the Waze navigation app so you can easily return to your favorite places</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-add-a-stop-on-waze">How to add a stop to your route on Waze and edit the path you're driving</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-report-police-on-waze">How to report police sightings on Waze and help other users drive more carefully</a></h3></li></ul>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-waze">Business Insider</a>

'Does Waze work in Europe?': How to use the Google-owned traffic and navigation app outside the US

<p><div class="image-container"><div class="image"><p class="source"><a href="http://www.panam.org/">Pan Am Historical Foundation</a></p><p class="caption">Pan Am navigators on the <keyword id="6357957" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Boeing">Boeing</keyword> 314 Clipper used innovative ways to determine the plane's position and bearings.</p></div></div></p>
<p>Last week, we looked at just how <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/photos-the-luxurious-boeing-314-clipper-2013-8#" target="_blank">luxurious it was to fly on Pan Am's Boeing 314 Clipper</a>, for those who could afford it.</p>
<p>But the differences between flying across the ocean these days and in the years leading up to <keyword id="6357515" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="World-War-II">World War II</keyword> go beyond the quality of the meals and sleeping accommodations.</p>
<p>Doug Miller works with the <a href="http://www.panam.org/" target="_blank">Pan Am Historical Foundation</a> and is a producer of "Across the Pacific," an <a href="http://www.panam.org/points-of-departure/pan-am-s-wide-world/148-across-the-pacific.html" target="_blank">upcoming documentary on Pan Am</a> and the adventure of flying across the ocean before it was routine. He took the time to explain to us just how complicated navigating the Clipper was in the days before GPS and satellite communications.</p>
<p>Step one was finding the plane's bearing, the direction it was headed in. That was done with a system specially developed for Pan Am transoceanic flights that provided bearings as far as 1,200 miles from land, on top of the plane's radio direction finding capabilities.</p>
<p>To figure out where the plane actually was at any given time, on board navigators looked to the stars. With a tool called the bubble octant, they could use celestial <keyword id="48724" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Navigation">navigation</keyword> to find their position.</p>
<p>Pan Am's navigators also had a clever system for dead reckoning (calculating position based on a previously determined position and estimated speed, time, and direction), Miller explains:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">They would <strong>drop a glass flask filled with aluminum powder from the plane</strong> (and they usually weren't flying all that high - 8,000 ft or less) and the resulting shiny spot (or flare at night) could be followed with a device something like a surveyors transit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">This would give the navigator some idea of the drift they were experiencing. Sometimes the pilot would fly a triangular course while the navigator did this, which would allow for more accurate estimation of the winds they were experiencing.</p>
<p>On the 314, which didn't fly especially fast or high, running out of fuel was a serious concern. So knowing where the plane was — and how far it had to go before landing, was critical. Says Miller:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">When you're flying in a plane going say 125 or 140 miles an hour, and they winds you encounter are either aiding or inhibiting your ground speed, you'd want to know how long you could stay in the air before you ran out of gas.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">It was not uncommon for flights to turn around after many hours in the air if it was uncertain that they would have the fuel to get to their destination. They used a chart called a "how-goes-it" chart, with pre-computed time vs. distance curves, including curves that provided for losing an engine in flight (that wasn't all that uncommon either in those days.)</p>
<p>When the United States entered World War II, the Clipper was pressed into service to transport materials and personnel. Pan Am helped out, too: At its school in Miami, it taught American and British aerial navigators how to guide their <keyword id="6367788" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Planes">planes</keyword> over the oceans.

In car <keyword id="48724" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Navigation">navigation</keyword> systems have been doing the rounds in India since quite some time now.

High price of a <keyword id="859923" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="PND">PND</keyword> can also be blamed for the dip.<br />
<br /> To fight the price barrier, <keyword id="508131" type="COMPANY" weightage="40" keywordseo="TomTom">TomTom</keyword> has brought two not-so-expensive navigation devices to India from their Start series. Called the Start 20 and Start 25, these are compact 4.3 and 5-inch touch screen devices for your vehicle. There mount enables them to be fixed on the cars windscreen and flat surfaces.<br />
<br /> Both the devices come equipped with TomTom’s proprietary all India maps with various points of interest and emergency services.

The <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/indias-desi-gps-navic-all-set-to-navigate-you/articleshow/64639096.cms">NavIC</a> (Navigation with Indian Constellation) is all set to be launched soon. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has taken the lead in this project. <br /><br />The ‘desi’ <keyword id="60096" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Global-Positioning-System">Global Positioning System</keyword>, or the GPS as it is better known, is an attempt to challenge the GPS made by the West and also become self-reliant when it comes to tracking and mapping. <keyword id="3658" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> took up this project after the US government denied access to its GPS to track the positioning of Pakistani troops during the Kargil War in 1999. <br /><br />NavIC will work with the help of a constellation of seven satellites to provide accurate position information to users within the country. The satellites cover India and upto 1,500 kilometres of area from its borders. The NavIC will be helpful with terrestrial, aerial and marine navigation, vehicle tracking and fleet management, disaster management, mapping and geodetic data capture, visual and voice navigation for drivers. <br /><br />To access all these services, the NavlC needs to be embedded in chips and other devices that are compatible with mobiles and can be used in cars. While it sounds like a great option to generate money by going the ‘Make in India’ way, IT secretary, Ajay Prakash Sawhney, has said that the NavIC will be providing these services for the strategic interest of the country and not to earn revenues.<br /><br />The GPS we use in the country right now comes from the West and its accuracy, efficiency is often debatable and reliant on the network services in the country. The desi GPS is expected to work better because a larger number of satellites will be focusing on a smaller area. It is also expected to work better across weather conditions as it uses a dual frequency system and has a position accuracy of five metres as opposed to the foreign GPS technology that uses single frequency and has 20-30 metres of position accuracy. <br /><br />The project, when approved, was given a budget of ₹14.2 billion and was expected to be out by 2011. It is clear that the project has <a href="https://thewire.in/space/indias-gps-delayed-by-deadline-overruns-isros-administrative-laxity-cag">failed to meet deadlines</a>, but there’s a reason for it all. An audit done this March by Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), the authority that examines all receipts and expenditures of the Government of India and the state governments, explains the delay. <br /><br />The <a href="https://www.cag.gov.in/sites/default/files/audit_report_files/Chapter_7_Department_Of_Space_of_Report_No.2_of_2018_%E2%80%93_Compliance_Audit_on_Scientific_and_Environmental_MinistriesDepartments_Union_Government.pdf">CAG report</a> states that there has been a delay of anything between two to nine years in the completion of specific contracts given to ISRO for NavIC. Seven contracts were still pending till last May. Though ISRO can not be blamed for all the delays, most of them were because of inadequate follow-up, failed coordination or mere “administrative laxity”.<br /><br />Failed satellite launches and dysfunctional equipment like atomic and primary clocks has further added to NavlC’s delay. <br /><br />So far, ISRO has spent over ₹24 billion on NavIC - ₹12.8 billion from sanctioned budget, and a supplementary ₹11.6 billion to launch the seven satellites. There has been a lot of “unnecessary expenditure”, according to the CAG audit, which even includes the purchase of incompatible modems. The project had also been at odds with the government when it refused to carry out some responsibilities it took funds for, like setting up the user segment.<br /><br />However, despite these challenges, all that NavIC now awaits is the Request for Proposal (RPF) that has been called for so as it can begin with the implementation, launch and promotion. Once that is done, India will become one of the countries with their own positioning system like, Russia and USA, strengthening its social and technological position worldwide.<br />

Nepal's policymakers are undergoing 13 days' offline and online training for the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) in Beijing after China "especially invited" them to attend it, sources said.<br /><br />China has reserved several seats for policymakers of the mega Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project at its Science Academy in Beijing. The programme started on September 4 and will end on September 20, sources said.<br /><br />"China has invited policymakers of Nepal to attend the training programme so that they can understand how these GPS and its application works in the field of education, research, science and other fields," they said.<br /><br />The move of China is seen as a counter to the US-based Global Positioning System (GPS) hegemony and push for its own indigenously developed navigation system in the region. China uses its homegrown navigation system BeiDou for both military and civilian purposes.<br /><br />BDS, stated to be rivalling GPS, is the fourth global satellite navigation system in the world. Other systems are Russia's GLONASS and the European Union's Galileo.

Currently, BeiDou covers nearly 30 countries including Pakistan, Egypt and Indonesia.<br /><br />China's BRI is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects launched in 2013 by President Xi Jinping. It is aimed at furthering China's influence abroad with infrastructure projects funded by Chinese investments all over the world.<br /><br />The initiative also led to allegations of smaller countries reeling under mounting Chinese debt after Sri Lanka handed over its strategic Hambantota port in a debt swap to China in 2017 on a 99-year lease.<br /><br />According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, China has inked 198 cooperation documents with 167 countries and international organisations under the BRI.<br /><br />China sees its trade expansion with the BRI countries as a way out to sustain its exports amid declining trend in the US and European Union, its top export destinations till now.<br /><br />(Sumit Kumar Singh can be reached at sumit.k@ians.in)<br /><br />--IANS<br /><br />sk/kr
