Yandex.Maps and Navigator are now available in all Volkswagen models

Now, in all Volkswagen models with multimedia systems that support the App-Connect interface (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), drivers can use Yandex.Maps and Navigator applications through these services. You can now search for addresses and build routes directly on car screens. This functionality is available with a Yandex Plus subscription, according to the Volkswagen press service.

In Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the basic functions of Maps and Navigator are available for motorists. You can find addresses and organizations, choose the best routes taking into account traffic jams, and get tips along the way, and warnings about speed limits and cameras work even without a built route. Traffic jams and traffic events are shown on the map of the OEM head unit display in Volkswagen.

Earlier, for the Taos model, a fundamentally new multimedia system VW Play based on Android was presented, with a 10-inch display and its own built-in VW Play Apps store, in which, among other things, Yandex services are available: using Yandex.Navigator, Yandex.Fueling and voice assistant Alice without purchasing an additional subscription, as well as the built-in Yandex.Music service with Yandex Plus subscription.

The VW Play multimedia system also supports Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and users will be able to use Yandex.Navigator with a Yandex Plus subscription using these interfaces.
