Nissan’s high-end map
Aside from the top-caliber Nissan parts, users of Nissan vehicles in Japan have something to boast about as the car company offers upgrades like the Yahoo! Wai Wai Map and the CARWINGS Builder for the dashboard staple CARWINGS.
These enhancements allow users of Nissan’s CARWINGS to key in their own inputs and share them to other drivers. Last March, Nissan came out with a trial version of the Yahoo! Wai Wai Map. This sort of social networking upgrade can be personalized by the Nissan vehicle owner. One can create his or her own maps and share these to other CARWINGS users. The console was designed so that one can create directions for tourist spots to famous restaurants in Japan. For the restaurants listed in the system, members can give ratings for these establishments to help others know which places are the best to dine to. Moreover, this special feature can be accessed over the internet and unique maps can be exchanged by CARWINGS members. Similar to the Yahoo! Wai Wai Map, the CARWINGS Builder allows users to share information on various locations to other members.
Aside from giving directions, the CARWINGS technology promotes the company’s safety campaign, along with the other life-saving Nissan parts. The system flashes warnings on the screen such as “Do not driver after drinking!” and “Let’s continue safe driving today”.
“Through CARWINGS Builder, individuals, groups, commercial establishments and local authorities can post information on the CARWINGS navigation maps, in either data-format or audio-formatted recordings via the CARWINGS Information Channel,” stated by Nissan.
Before the year closes, the rate for the CARWINGS system will now be fixed for 1,200 yen or $10.3.
“With the increased demand for CARWINGS services, the offer will be more attractive to customers who can enjoy the available information channels and services as much as they want, for a flat monthly rate,” stated by the Japanese company.
