Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
First look at Volkswagen-Google-nVidia navigation system
What do you get when you take Google Earth and put it in a Volkswagen? Something like this. Volkswagen has partnered with Google and nVidia to create an in-car navigation system based on Google Earth that shows a driver's route in 3D. The touch-screen system is Internet-enabled and goes online to find real-time traffic and weather information as well as other travel information like gas stations, restaurants, or hotels. AutoMotoPortal has a half-dozen screenshots for your enjoyment. For now it's just a prototype, so no word on when we could actually be seeing this in VW's lineup.
