OnStar 4 620x407 OnStar and Google Partner to allow Turn by Turn Navigation

GM OnStar and Google have reached an agreement that will let OnStar users search destinations using Google Maps and send those destinations to the Turn-by-Turn Navigation Service in their vehicles. The Turn-by-Turn Navigation feature will be available through Google Maps at the end of June. If you have OnStar service in your GM car, you can access the Turn-by-Turn directions to the destination of your choice wherever you are.

With the eNav feature in the Turn-by-Turn service, it allows drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Also, the Google Maps option will be available on all current Turn-by-Turn capable GM vehicles from 2006 model to present. The maps will be available to download through OnStar Destination Download, which send destinations directly to the vehicle’s screen-based navigation system.

For the 2011 model year, OnStar Directions and Connections service is standard on all OnStar-equipped, GM retail vehicles. In addition, OnStar and Google Maps can be run on the Google Android platform as well.
