Delphi Selects TeleNav to Power Connected Navigation System for Vehicles Worldwide

TeleNav, Inc, one of the largest global wireless location-based services providers, has been selected by Delphi Automotive to provide its TeleNav Auto platform for the navigation component of a new, connected infotainment system available worldwide.

“Delphi is recognized as a pioneer in the automotive industry, and we’re proud to be chosen by them to provide global navigation software to automakers,” said Hassan Wahla, vice president of business development for TeleNav. “With this collaboration, TeleNav is expanding its reach to global customers in the automotive sector and strengthening our position as a leading provider of connected navigation and search services.”

The TeleNav Auto platform is the heart of the navigation system and will be used to calculate turn-by-turn directions that incorporate real-time information from SiriusXM such as traffic and weather. Navigation with integrated connected features will be accessible through voice commands and a full-color LCD touch-screen.

“Drivers worldwide are looking for affordable navigation systems with connected services that work wherever they need them,” added Wahla. “We believe that the number of in-vehicle navigation systems with off-board capabilities will continue to grow rapidly, and this collaboration will help us to provide consumers the functionality they desire.”

“Delphi is committed to providing affordable, feature-rich infotainment and navigation solutions that help vehicle manufacturers address the needs of today’s connected consumers,” said Clyde Fabrizio, North America managing director of the Infotainment and Driver Interface product business unit at Delphi. “With this innovative infotainment system, we believe we’re doing just that — the connected system will be more flexible and user-friendly than ever before.”

— Global Maps and Places: Search, localized maps, and POIs for more than
60 countries around the world
