Yahoo! Car Navigation System Supports AppleCarPlay

Finally, the "Yahoo! Car NavigationThe new car from the "MegaCarPlay" brand is compatible with AppleCarPlay, which allows you to use apps from your smartphone, such as calling, music, messaging, and navigation, on your car's display.Google map became available earlier last fallSo I tried it on our Panamera.

I used google maps with Apple Car play on iOS12 right off the bat!

The good news is that after Google Maps, we can now use Yahoo! Car Navigation. My husband is a

Google Maps" is fine, but when I'm out touring in the countryside, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to find the right place.They're not afraid to take you on stupidly narrow roads and forest roads.Oh, man. Google Maps" does a good job of guiding you along a route with shortcuts in mind, but sometimes it backfires. On that noteCar Navigation System" picks a standard road for you.Easy to use from

said. So, as soon as yesterday, I tried using this "Yahoo! Car Navi" with "CarPlay" in my Panamera, and I would like to share my impressions.

Let's use Yahoo! Car Navigation!

I installed the Yahoo! Car Navigation app beforehand and connected my iPhone to my Panamera.Yahoo! Car Navigationwas displayed on the screen.

As for setting the destination, it is not on the touch panel.It's very convenient because you can operate it on your own iPhone.It is. On this day, I decided to go to "Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens" to do some shopping, and when I set my destination, it displayed like this.

The display shows "estimated time of arrival, time it will take to arrive, and distance," and the display is fairly easy to read. The display is fairly easy to read.No, but it's impossible to get there in 16 minutes.I thought to myself, "I'm going to start the navigation system," but then I selected "Start Navigation" and set off. By the way, when you start the navigation system, you will see this on the screen of your smartphone.

."Do not touch your smartphone while driving as it is dangerous!It's very kind. The route guidance is also very easy to understand, as the voice tells you in advance when to turn right or left, etc. The display is also simple and easy to read.

If you log in to Yahoo! Car Navigation, they will take into account traffic jam information, and indeed, the congested areas were marked "red" or "orange", but we didn't have to go around any more than necessary....

Arrived at.Six minutes later than originally scheduled.It was. Well, that's about the smallest difference. On the way home, I set my destination for my daughter's preschool, butIt was very easy to do a quick search and it came up in one shot.The navigation system on the Panamera is a touch panel. With the Panamera's navigation system, you have to convert every single kanji and katakana character on the touch panel, but there is no need to do so, so it is stress-free.

The display shows a large sign in the form of "Turn right 1.1 km ahead, lane is in the center" as shown below, so it is easy to understand with a quick glance while driving.

It was also quite crowded at this time of the day, so we arrived at the kindergarten safely before pick-up time, although a little later than originally planned.

Comments on Yahoo! Car Navigation

After using "Yahoo! Car Navi" for a little while, I have to say that it's a great tool.Easy to use anyway". Not some weird loophole or "why make me take the long way around?" Instead of the uncomfortable route of "Why take the long way around?It shows you a general route that is easy to drive.The display is easy to read and has voice guidance.

."Navigation systems on foreign cars are not very smart.It is often said that the Panamera's navigation system is not so smart... I honestly thought that I would not have to use the factory navigation system in my car from now on. After all, as long as there is a screen (box) to display, that is all that is needed.

I wonder if this CarPlay support for "Yahoo! Car Navi" is causing more and more tremors in the car navigation industry...

I will try to use Yahoo! Car Navigation again soon, this time when I drive long distances. I wish I could use it with my Golf 7 as well as my Panamera!

    Hi Miwa.
    Always a pleasure to read your posts with great interest!

    I see that CarPlay is now supported.
    Car Navigation System" is available.
    It is not operated by CarPlay, but it is active on 964.
    Car Navigation System", the location of your car is now more accurate than before, and the functions have been enhanced.
    I even bought an additional steering wheel remote control called "Navi Uma" thinking I would continue to use it for the foreseeable future.
    Putting aside the "NAVI-UMA" moniker, it helps considerably with operations while driving.

    As Miwa said, voice guidance, screen display at junctions and stress-free input are
    It's as good as or better than a commercial car navigation system.
    It also offers a full range of functions, such as lane guidance at intersections and switching to a magnified view at junctions.
    Considering it's a free app, "yahoo! Car Navi" is outstanding!
    There are other benefits that outweigh the commercial car navigation system.
    After all, no updates are required. In other words, the map is always up-to-date, and there is no cost to update it.
    The highway, which was just extended in March, was also immediately updated.
    Next, when approaching an Orbis installation location, a speed warning is given. Carrozzeria required an optional CD.

    I digress.
    I had a lot of trouble installing a navigation system on a 964 because there were few options and installation required modification.
    On-dash does not look good from the outside or inside, and it is not a good idea to leave marks on the dashboard.
    A portable navigation system that utilizes a stay on the ashtray portion of the system would look obsolete nowadays.
    The 2-DIN installation requires a one-off modification to cut the ashtray and part of the lower part of the dashboard, which is a very good fit, but considering the originality of the 964...it is also expensive, starting at 270,000 yen.
    I was also playing music on my iPhoneXR in a Bluetooth environment.
    I thought my smartphone would be sufficient for what I wanted from a 2DIN navigation system.
    Eventually, the original cassette deck was replaced with a Carrozzeria car audio system with a CD slot.
    We decided to insert MOUNTEK's magnetic phone holder into the CD slot and use the "yahoo! car navigation system" on the iPhoneXR.

      Thank you!

      >You can use "Yahoo! Car Navi".
      >Not operating with CarPlay, but it is active on my 964.
      Oh yes! I knew Yahoo! Car Nav was easy to use!

      And as you say, no updates required and free of charge.
      It's God...it's amazing.

      I see...! I'm learning a lot!
      The fusion of the analog 964 with the latest digital devices such as the iPhone is so cool and chic!
      When you think about it, the world has really become a very convenient place... (laughs there)

    I always enjoy looking at your site.
    I use Apple Car Play on my motorcycle.
    Now that Zenrin and Google Maps have parted ways! The quality is so good that it's one of the best free ones... â
    So far there are some glitches such as freezing, and the music stops when the app is launched, but I hope this will improve with future updates.
    It would be more useful if illustrations of highway branches were displayed.
    Let's hope for the future ^^^.

      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      Yahoo! Car Navigation is really excellent.

      >At the moment there are some glitches such as freezing, or the music stops when the app is launched, but I hope this will improve with future updates.
      Oh, I know, there are freezes and all that... I have to turn on Yahoo! Car Navigation when I start it up and put the screen on the center screen, but after a few minutes or so the screen goes away.
      Is this a mistake in my setup...

      Sure, but I'm sure we can expect a lot of improvements with updates, and that's the good thing about the app ^^^.
      If you have any more information, I would be happy to hear from you.

  3. very much

    I always enjoy looking at your site.
    I recently switched to a MY2018 911GTS and used apple car play for the first time, but using Yahoo! car play via car play seems to have more limited functionality than when using it on my phone.

    I couldn't even scroll the way I do on my phone, which is to slide my finger over it.
    I can only move the screen of an old-fashioned navigation system...
    Is there some way to do this?

    I also have a '69 Narrow, and in that case, I use y-nav directly on my phone, so I feel like the good things about y-nav via CarPlay are halved compared to that!

      >I can only move the screen of an old-fashioned navigation system...
      >Is there some way to do this?

      I see... you're right! I'm pretty sure that when I used it, it was on a street I knew, so I didn't really scroll through it, etc.
      If it can't be used in the same way as a smartphone, it's useless...as you say, it's half as convenient...

      You also drive a narrow! It is so nice to be able to enjoy both old and new Porsches every day!

      I'll have to give Yahoo! Car Nav another shot and see what I can find out!
      Thank you for your continued support.

    Thank you for your always enjoyable articles.

    The reason there are so few features available in the Apple carplay version of Yahoo!
    This article by ITmedia has good detailed information.
    https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/1904/15/news112.html
    I've heard that this is largely due to limitations on the Carplay side, but the app developer can also use it.
    They seem to be working harder and harder, so I have high expectations for the future.
    As Mr. Mizusan said, the branch illustration display on the expressway
    I want it as soon as possible. Personally, I have a customized voice for announcements.
    or something like that.

    I like gadgets, so I try all kinds of new features.
    I have been playing with various Carplay apps on my recently received 991.2 GT3.
    I am here. Which car navigation app is the most user-friendly? And.

    I'm going to digress for a moment.
    Porsche is nice enough to let me connect to the SIM in the car with Wifi.
    The screen is touch screen and responsive.

    In another post on the blog (5 reasons to choose the S-Class over the Panamera)
    As if it were a perfect fit, the S63 Coupe is also on it.
    This is also compatible with Carplay, but let individuals use the in-vehicle SIM.
    They won't give it to me. If I want to use Wifi in my car, I have to tether it from my iPhone.
    It is an indescribable specification. Perhaps due in part to this, Yahoo! Car Nav!
    It won't even start unless I turn off Wifi.
    The screen also doesn't use a touch panel, and even though it's a luxury car, I'm not happy with it.
    It is an unfortunate specification of many.

    BMW requires a subscription fee for Carplay use itself, so
    It could be called more 00 specs. (Sorry if this is old knowledge)

    ...etc. Porsche has unexpectedly excelled in some areas.

      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      And thank you for sharing this valuable information!

      I see...it was a problem on the carplay side, not on the Yahoo! Car Navigation side.

      >I have been playing with various Carplay apps on my recently received 991.2 GT3.
      I am here.
      Ehhh wow!!! Actually, my husband got a ride in a friend's 991.2 GT3 today.
      That was amazing!" He was very impressed with the results.
      If you give us any more information on which car play apps you recommend, we would love to share it on our blog!

      Thanks for the info on the S and BMW!
      I see - I somehow thought Mercedes-Benz was superior in that area.
      So Porsche is more user friendly!

      I've been hearing a lot lately about how Google's Android is easier to use than Apple's iPhone.
      Porsche's PCM system seems to be more compatible with the iPhone.
      I'm having a hard time with this ^^^;

    I have a question about using Yahoo! CarPlay for car navigation.

    In my case, it's the same for both my 718 Cayman and my 911 Carrera.

    Does it cut out when the engine restarts after idling?

    Mina is a member of the
    > Car Navigation System and put the screen on the center screen, but after a few minutes, the screen disappears and I can't see it.
    > I have to put it on each time, but I guess this is my mistake in setting it up...

    Is this unrelated to idling stop?
    I don't use CarPlay much anymore because it is a hassle to reconnect it.
    I tried searching the net, but there was no particular information...

    • Mina.Mina.

      PorscheDreamer.
      Thank you!

      >Will it cut out when the engine restarts after idling?
      Ha! Sure, if you say it idles and cuts out when the engine is restarted, that may be true.
      I always notice that it is running out, so I guess it has something to do with the idling stop.

      I'll have to try it some time!
